Anomalistics is the use of scientific methods Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of to evaluate anomalies Anomalistics is the study of scientific anomalies. In computer science, anomaly detection refers to the process of detecting anomalies from the relevant data (phenomena that fall outside of current understanding), with the aim of finding a rational explanation.[1] The term itself was coined in 1973 1973 was a common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar) of the 1973 Gregorian calendar by Drew University Originally established as the Drew Theological Seminary in 1867, the university later expanded to include an undergraduate liberal arts college in 1928 and commenced a program of graduate studies in 1955. Nicknamed the "University in the Forest" because of the relative serenity of its wooded 186 acres relative to the school's suburban anthropologist Anthropology is the general and comparative study of humans behaviour about the existing in groups of few or many individuals.. It is the comprehensive study of human beings and of their interactions with each other and the environment. The term "anthropology", pronounced /ænθrɵˈpɒlədʒi/, is from the Greek ἄνθρωπος, anthr Roger W. Wescott, who defined it as being "...serious and systematic study of all phenomena that fail to fit the picture of reality provided for us by common sense or by the established sciences."[citation needed]
Wescott credited journalist and researcher Charles Hoy Fort Charles Hoy Fort was an American writer and researcher into anomalous phenomena as being the creator of anomalistics as a field of research, and he named biologist Ivan T. Sanderson Ivan Terence Sanderson was a naturalist and writer born in Edinburgh, Scotland, who became a naturalized citizen of the United States. Sanderson is remembered for his nature writing and his interest in cryptozoology and paranormal subjects and Sourcebook Project compiler William R. Corliss William Roger Corliss is an American physicist and writer who has become known for his interest in collecting data regarding anomalous phenomena as being instrumental in expanding anomalistics to introduce a more conventional perspective into the field.[2][3]
Henry Bauer Henry H. Bauer is an emeritus professor of chemistry and science studies, and emeritus dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University ("Virginia Tech"). Bauer earned his Ph.D. in 1956 from the University of Sydney. He became editor-in-chief of the Journal of Scientific Exploration, a, emeritus professor of Science Studies at Virginia Tech Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, better known as Virginia Tech, is a land grant polytechnic university in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States, writes that anomalistics is "a politically correct term for the study of bizarre claims,"[4] while David J. Hess of the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, or RPI, is a private research university located in Troy, New York, United States describes it as being "the scientific study of anomalies defined as claims of phenomena not generally accepted by the bulk of the scientific community."[1]
Anomalistics covers several sub-disciplines, including ufology Ufology is a neologism coined to describe the collective efforts of those who study unidentified flying object (UFO) reports and associated evidence. While ufology does not represent an academic field of research, UFOs have been subject to various investigations over the years by governments and independent academics. None of these studies have and cryptozoology Cryptozoology refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals which are extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical support but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and el.

Allen Hynek Dr. Josef Allen Hynek was a United States astronomer, professor, and ufologist. He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as scientific adviser to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force under three consecutive names: Project Sign (1947-1949), Project Grudge (1949-1952), and Project Blue Book (1952 to 1969). For decades and Carl Sagan Carl Edward Sagan was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI),[5] Christopher Chacon,[citation needed] Cryptozoologist Cryptozoology refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals which are extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical support but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and el Bernard Heuvelmans Bernard Heuvelmans was a Belgian-French scientist, explorer, researcher, and a writer probably best known as "the father of cryptozoology". His 1958 book, On the Track of Unknown Animals (originally published in French in 1955 as Sur la Piste des Bêtes Ignorées) is often regarded as one of the best and most influential cryptozoological,[6] and CSI/CSICOP founder The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry , formerly known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), is a U.S. non-profit organization whose stated purpose is to "encourage the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminate Paul Kurtz Paul Kurtz is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo, but is best known for his prominent role in the United States skeptical community. He has been called "the father of secular humanism."[citation needed].[7]
