Which I think means the most likely explanation is that it’s a solved phenomenon, but the information just hasn’t been made public.

This seems like an "appeal to secrecy" fallacy. There's no obvious reason to keep such information secret (cue ten people speculating something random but no hypothetical here is clear here and the US government's incentive to show seems fairly high).

The simple explanation is that it is psychosomatic and the arguments against that are weaker than they seem (as has often been the case over the years).
