So...not natural OR man-made?  Gosh, that's a really restrictive category.  Adding in "defy the laws of physics" and I would suggest you've got a null set there.

You might want to look up the meaning of "anomalous."

You don't get out much do you?

"Anomalous phenomena are unusual events or sightings that standard science and normal knowledge cannot easily explain.

What the Words Mean

Anomalous: Deviating from what is standard, normal, or expected.

Phenomena: Observable facts, events, or occurrences that can be seen or experienced.

General definition: Anything unusual happening in the physical world that defies immediate logical or scientific answers."

"On June 9, 2022, NASA announced that the agency is commissioning a study team to examine unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) – that is, observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena – from a scientific perspective. The study will focus on identifying available data, how best to collect future data, and how NASA can use that data to move the scientific understanding of UAPs forward. This webpage is designed as a resource to provide updates on the UAP Independent Study."---- https://science.nasa.gov/uap/

So how have you determined that "anomalous" means not natural or not man-made?
