An objectionable stop

Interesting question and here are some possible scenarios:
The force can pass through the object with out moving it. Like the electromagnetic waves passing thro matter with out moving it. ( The force was unstoppable and the object did not move).
The force transmitted its energy to the immovable object making it vibrate at micro level - without moving it.

The answer is simpler than it sounds. Immovable objects cannot be moved, therefore that object would stand still. Unstoppable forces cannot be stopped, but if one were to meet an immovable object, it wouldn't (and couldn't) be stopped - rather it would be slowed down to an infinitely slow speed.
Depending on the mass of each object, there might also be a rather nasty mess to clean up ...

The moveable object would either smash itself or would crash through the immovable object
Why don't you try it out!
Get in your car and start the engine
Then put the lever on drive and hit the gas pedal hard
Dont let go of it!
Keep driving until you see a tree
then, continue moving forward at a constant speed toward the tree
there's your answer!

the object may move or the unstoppable force many bounce off and go into another direction.

It would make the sound of a tree falling in the woods with nobody around to hear it.

None of the two exists.
