The UFO debunking efforts of the likes of Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox are shameless and woeful.

They have behaved in many ways like the churchs inquisition when theories didn't fit their current schism.
They are less trigger happy but there is conservatism too.

A paragraph or two might be nice StinkyFish, its just hard on my old dyslexic skyballs otherwise.
As to the radiation you are going on about that pervades just about everywhere, the majority of such is what is known as the non-ionizing sort.
Meaning it does not have the power to penetrate your cell walls, and hence is deemed to be relatively safe.

There is/was ridicule when individual accounts can't be explained by the standard model...
Individual accounts are/were discarded, and if you insisted you'd be ridiculed by the scientific societies.
I see this changing now, as scientists have become aware that subjective reality might interlock with the objective one.
Especially in fields like psychology we are becoming increasingly aware that subjective reality can't be discarded inorder to Form a holistic idea...
Quantum theories are also putting back subjective reality as an important part to objective reality.
Thise are rather recent findings up until now uf subjective reality was to deviant from objective reality, it just got discarded as a mental disorder...
Truth is stranger than fiction

And in an infinite universe(possibly multiverse), with infinite diversity, in infinite combinations, that may very well be the case.
Our perspective does not exactly let us see all the players on the board, or even the majority of the board for that matter.
After all, everything we can directly see, observe, and measure, constitutes only a small fraction of the universe's total content, or about 5% or thereabouts.
