A number of stories simply fail to provide (or aren’t interested in providing) more evidence beyond the fact that they occur “on an alien planet in the future”. Given the entire duration of human development into space, this isn’t particularly helpful, presuming the humanoids featured in the story are human in the first place. Without more clues as to how such stories relate to human history or another documented event, a proper dating is impossible. A story such as
Anachrophobia
looks for all the world like placement on the timeline should be attainable, but the evidence (or lack thereof) says otherwise.

The following stories are among those that defy a proper dating. The TV stories are listed in broadcast order; the books, audios and comics are listed alphabetically.
