well i am afraid you are not really 100% correct. there are accepted 4 states of matter, plasma state included because that can actually be deteced and also got in a laboratory. and that is what many stars are made up of - but infact they are just a collection of protons and neutrons away from the completion of an atom
bose einstein condensate on the other hand is not matter at all, so cannot be added to a state of matter, though it is indeed controversial.
the 5th state of matter is speculated to be the so called "hidden matter" which forms up 99% of the universe we live in, including the empty space! but it has never been verified
