unexplained phenomena
Events defying understanding
Unexplained phenomena are events or observations that resist conventional explanation—UFO sightings, ghost encounters, spontaneous combustion, crop circles.
The term carries a note of mystery: these aren't merely things we haven't explained yet, but things that seem to defy explanation.
The show investigates unexplained phenomena from around the world.
Scientists and skeptics often prefer "unexplained" to "supernatural," leaving room for future understanding.
