What would happen if I tried to launch Bigby's Hand with the Catapult spell?

The catapult spell description says:
Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isnâÂÂt being worn or carried.
The description of Bigby's hand states that it is a Large object with no defined weight, but it doesn't fill the space it's in (I'm not sure if that means it's hovering or if it's ghostly).
Let's say I target Bigby's hand with catapult and launch the hand 90 feet towards some bad guys. Would it fail as a possible use for catapult, or would it shoot off as normal and hit the first thing in its path?

Unknown, but may not be a legitimate object
Catapult doesn't require an object to weigh less than 5 lbs, but that it must weigh between 1 and 5 lbs.
Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isnâÂÂt being worn or carried.
Bigby has no defined weight and doesn't technically apply.
A valid point, thanks for pointing that out. Since Bigby's Hand could very well grapple things, would it still no longer be a possible target if it was holding, say, a 1 pound dagger? Or, alternatively, is a 1/2 pound bag holding 3 pounds of gold a valid target?

I actually think that needs to be its own question about whether a collection of objects counts as a single object for catapult targets.
