Attack of the Theocrats!
I'll make the generous assumption that by "the 5 senses" you simply meant "all the physical senses". (The idea that there' only 5 is quite incorrect - there's sense of time passing, sense of body position ("kinesthetic" I think it's called), and "touch" is actually several separate senses lumped together - pressure, temperature, pain, and so on)
However, if that is what you meant - all the physical senses, not "the 5" senses - then it is by definition impossible to have an experience that defies the senses. Your brain experiences things through the nerve transmissions it receives - the senses.
