I use levitation as an example because the blatant disregarding of gravity is a pretty serious disagreement with known physics.  It is obviously a lot more testable than many other things.

If you want more subtle stuff, look at some of the "Top Gun" pilot and short-term precognition stuff.  There is certainly weird things being researched.  Parapsychology can be a fascinating area.
