The physics anomaly no one talks about: What's up with those neutrinos?

The first 200 will get 20% off the annual premium subscription. 20 years ago the LSND experiment at Los Alamos detected a strange anomaly in neutrino oscillations. In 2018 the Fermilab experiment MiniBooNE that was checking on this observation saw it too. The anomaly is above the discovery threshold. What does this mean for the standard model of particle physics? Correction to what I say at 1 mins 55 seconds: "lepton" should have been "charged lepton" (in both instances). Correction to what I say at 3 mins 33 seconds: It was the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2015 (as you see on the screenshot) not (as I mistakenly said) in 2011.
