Abstract: (AIP)

I review our recent claim that there is evidence of non-Gaussianity in the 4 Year COBE DMR data. I describe the statistic we apply, the result we obtain and make a detailed list of the systematics we have analyzed. I finish with a qualitative understanding of what it might be and its implications.
