Since you can't identify something as something you don't know what is, that should be two questions:
1) Is there a lexicon not identifiable as IE within Germanic?
2) Is that lexicon identifiable as belonging to any known language group?
ad 1) Yes. The attempts to explain the remainder traditionally set at 30% I've seen don't convince me.
ad 2) Yes. Some etymologies I've seen convinced me.
But in the end it depends on the jury and the jury is you.
