We report on the discovery of a Type 1 quasar, SDSS 0956+5128, with asurprising combination of extreme velocity offsets. SDSS 0956+5128 is abroad-lined quasar exhibiting emission lines at three substantially differentredshifts: a systemic redshift of z ~ 0.714 based on narrow emission lines, abroad MgII emission line centered 1200 km/s bluer than the systemic velocity,at z ~ 0.707, and broad H\alpha and H\beta emission lines centered at z ~0.690. The Balmer line peaks are 4100 km/s bluer than the systemic redshift.There are no previously known objects with such an extreme difference betweenbroad MgII and broad Balmer emission. The two most promising explanations areeither an extreme disk emitter or a high-velocity black hole recoil. However,neither explanation appears able to explain all of the observed features ofSDSS 0956+5128, so the object may provide a challenge to our generalunderstanding of quasar physics.
