English term or phrase: anomalous evidence

When it came to the amateurs, Burrows was unprepared for and unaware of the amount of in-fighting and controversy that exists in most amateur
organisations—though communities such as those interested in UFOs, the mystery of Rennes-le-Château and crop circles have so far easily outperformed anything that the "diffusionists" (those researching
anomalous evidence in the New World, suggestive of transoceanic contacts) have been capable of. Burrows had thrown out a giant bone and the dogs were fighting
over it. In the process, he was eaten—and so was his story.

"faits hors du commun" est peu-être mieux...

Une tendance assez répandue consiste à toujours traduire "évidence" par "preuve" ..."Evidence" pourtant ne signifie pas autre chose que ce qui est donné à la constatation et qu'on voudrait utiliser pour appuyer une hypothèse , une théorie, etc. On peut amasser des tonnes d'"evidence" sans que celles-ci soient "preuves" , car la "preuve" est démonstration catégorique de la justesse d'une hypothèse...On peut par ailleurs fournir des "preuves" sans recours aucun à l "evidence", aux données, aux fait, comme par exemple dans la démonstration mathématique...
