If you didn't grow up hearing about these things, season two might not resonate with you the way it might with older viewers.

My wife, who is actually younger than me, said the same thing. I was bitching about the aliens and she, more or less, said, "Aliens were hot shit in the 60's!"
The point being that the show was being true to what was in the headlines at the time, as far as unexplained stuff goes.
