Theodoric, I understood this on your list as anything pertaining to spiritual. Please explain what you are alluding to and what the on topic perameters are relative to this.
This isn't Theodoric's list, It's Practical Prodigy's. So, you'd really have to ask him about that, I think.

I don't know if it can be reproduced in a lab, but ball lightning fits the other two criteria.

I do not feel it is a totally unexplained phenomena.
Nor do I, but that wasn't a criteria for his list of "phenomena".

He asked for something that:

I find this one tricky, because if we can replicate it in a laboratory, we pretty much know how it works.

must be an event/effect that can be observed by anyone possessing necessary equipment. Equipment that is fully defined and reproducable.
This holds true for ball lightning, anyone can see it, if it occurs.

The effect/event must have no strong scientific theory explaining it. Guesswork and theories with no evidence are allowable. In fact the effect/event could even blatantly contradict some known physical mechanism.
I don't know how "strong" the explanations are that wiki provides, but there are of course explanations.
​
So, you see, it doesn't matter that there is an explanation, it just can't be a strong one.
