If we don't perceive this event using the electromagnetic spectrum, is it fair to state that it remains un'seen' as such?

We need a verb for gravitational perception!

I mean, events that are seen are a subset of events that are observed. So with that in mind, "observed" is probably sufficient.

Another example: you can observe a fire by smelling it.
