"Reports of radiation type burns due to close encounters with UFOs go back to before man had accomplished flight in any form. Moreover, the electromagnetic effects of UFOs in flight are so powerful that it is now possible to buy magnetic anomaly detectors to track and report them."

Can you provide links to these claims?

Here's a UFO incident in Maricaibo, Venezuela that was reported in a letter to Scientific American. The description of radiation burns was before radiation was discovered by science.

The burns being on the side of the sleepers closest to the ground was apparently due to what is known as reflective radiation. High-energy x-rays seem to have passed through the sleepers from above and generated ionizing beta radiation when they reacted with elements on the surface of the ground.
