An anomaly is any occurrence or object that is strange, unusual, or unique. It can also mean a discrepancy or deviation from an established rule or trend.

Anomalistics is the study of scientific anomalies. In computer science, anomaly detection refers to the process of detecting anomalies from the relevant data.

In the following particular contexts, "anomaly" may refer to:

Astronomy

  • Eccentric anomaly, intermediate value used to compute the position of a celestial object as a function of time
  • Flyby anomaly, unexpected energy increase during Earth flybys of satellites
  • Mean anomaly, measure of time in the study of orbital dynamics
  • Pioneer anomaly, observed deviation of the trajectories of various unmanned spacecraft
  • South Atlantic Anomaly, region where Earth's inner van Allen radiation belt makes its closest approach to the planet's surface
  • True anomaly, angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit.

Has anyone ever experienced something paranormal? Describe the event or experience.?
Q. Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of purported anomalous phenomena. According to the Journal of Parapsychology (Parapsychology Association), the term paranormal describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions." The term is derived from the Latin use of the prefix "para", meaning "against, counter, outside or beyond the norm." Many see the term paranormal as synonymous with parapsychology, which deals with psychical phenomena like telepathy, ESP, and survival studies like ghosts. However, the paranormal also includes subjects considered to be outside of the scope of parapsychology, including UFOs,… [cont.]

A. I am a normal intelligent 58 year old man who has travelled a bit and have seen and experienced many amazing things. Only once in my life did I witness an event which to this day is unexplainable. In 1973, while fishing 25 miles off the florida coast with four of my friends, we all saw an event which both amazed and frightened us all, and these guys didn't scare easy. The sky was clear and cloudless and there was about a two foot chop all day. About three p.m. a bank of absolutely black clouds came from the ocean horizon, the entire ocean went flat as glass, and a small patch of thick fog appeared about 300 yards east of our boat. This all happened within one minute. The sky was black,but there appeared a very visible object inside the fog. [cont.]

What are some false positives for EVP?
Q. Alright, so EVP = ghosts, but not necessarily. I am a paranormal investigator and I am compiling a list of false positives and known, environmental phenomena. I do know some ways a non-anomalous phenomenon can appear anomalous when recorded, but I would like input from anyone even if it is stating the obvious. Thanks! My bad...other than actual noises that are occurring within the direct environment. Alright, if *any* anomaly identified as an EVP is a false anomaly, why is that exactly? I do not generally edit any of our audio. If on the off-chance I do, I keep it alongside the original. Basically it would become two or three files: two unedited files, one playing a few seconds before and after the "anomaly" and the other just the "anomal [cont.]

Is it feasible that the U.S. is capable of producing earthquakes using the HAARP project?
Q. As an engineer, when I first heard the conspiracy theories surrounding the HAARP project I thought that they didn't have any scientific basis. If you don't know about it, the HAARP project involves manipulating the ionosphere. So I began a research in scientific journals about the relationship about the earthquakes and the ionosphere, and for my surprise I found that some earthquakes ARE related to the ionosphere. For example, a paper by Gokhberg, M. and Shalimov, S., published in the American Geophysical Union, says: "The ionospheric literature is sprinkled with descriptions of phenomena observed near the site of future earthquakes. Any real connection, reliably established, clearly would be of practical value as well as of scientific… [cont.]

A. I have been fascinated with Geology for some time. Though my knowledge is limited to an intro course in college and what I have researched by leisure. Since I moved to The Pacific North West I even more often check in to the USGS earthquake listings. The pattern of earthquakes is disturbing and unusual. It is very true about advances in technology being unavailable to civilians and I more than agree that some elite whether government or unrelated entities have this advantage over the masses. I would hate to think that they would purposely destroy the planet but wouldn't take such a possibility for granted by instinct. The Pacific Plate is at a severely unstable Level and I am concerned as to why this obvious issue is not mentioned even on… [cont.]
