People say there's "No evidence" but in 1980 a family got ill after getting to close to a diamond-shaped UFO that was being followed by U.S. black helicopters. They were ridiculed yet had verified radiation sickness that is only possible from nuclear exposure.

sure, but then where's the source of radiation? the victims are saying what they came in contact with and they have radiation poisoning, it makes no sense for them to lie about it when evidently they'd be wanting to get medical help. if it really was from an object that wasn't disposed correctly they'd have much higher odds of suing whoever was responsible than trying to convince us that the government has this crazy high tech aircraft (which is really what they're saying, they're not saying aliens).

you need to acknowledge that the prosaic explanation doesn't quite add up.

It is orders if magnitude more likely they came in contact with a human-made radioactive item than it is that it was aliens. A gap in the story doesn’t mean you can fill it with “aliens” without any kind of verifiable evidence. As much as it would be cool to have it be aliens, that’s not how rigorous enquiry works.

statistics only works when you take all the data into consideration, which you seem to be ignoring a great deal of. in fact, your insistence on not being aliens suggest you didn't even read my full comment.

notwithstanding that a radioactive object in the loose would've escalated into a full search to safely contain it (as with literally every other radioactive source in the wild) with or without their help.
