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.

What do you think the odds are of a man who is set to prove there is an Afterlife?
Q. A paranormal investigator claimed today he is in line to win 1 million after betting he could prove the existence of an afterlife. Ross Hemsworth, 49, from Glastonbury, has placed a 100 bet with odds of 10,000/1, that he will provide evidence of an afterworld beyond reasonable doubt. If the self titled scientific investigator of anomalous phenomena is proved correct not only will he bag the money but will also become one of the most famous men in modern history. Mr Hemsworth denied his scheme was crackpot and said a team of scientists and doctors were working around the clock to prove existence of the after life. He could not provide details of the evidence he is set to produce as it was being kept under wraps . The evidence must… [cont.]

Will you Send this letter of response to our New President?
Q. "Obama to Disclose X-Files on Anti-Gravity Technology!" ^^^Copy of Letter to the President in Description Section^^^ Dear Mr. President, I am writing you this letter in response to your recent decisions to probe deeper into anti-gravity technology and the so called "X-Files", which in all probably are hiding some amazing and beneficial technologies that I think the American people are more than ready for. In terms of the National Security Risk Factor associated with disclosing material related to the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomena, I want to point out that many of us already know the truth were just waiting for the Government to come forward and admit to it. As an avid UFO researcher, I have come across a few things that I would… [cont.]

Athiests, skeptics: If "god" "revealed" himself with "signs" and "miracles" would you then believe in him?
Q. I sure wouldn't, at least not until the phenomena had been properly examined and the claimant's abilities observed and tested, and then I would require MUCH more evidence that the claimant was indeed the deity of Hebrew mythology and not a different deity or even a regular person with anomalous qualities. Even then I wouldn't take it for granted that everything written about him was true, I would assume most if not all of the myth was false and merely loosely based on this being. So why doesn't god just go ahead and make with the miracles, then he might actually be able to start making a positive difference in the world. True skeptics STILL wouldn't believe so the only "people of faith" would be gullible people (you know, like the way… [cont.]
