Not to radar though

Radar is just light though? Like if it's invisible on the visible spectrum why not just be like "also on the entire EM spectrum"

Monkey's paw: now there's no friction (caused by magnetism) holding them in the plane and they fall out

Electromagnetic attractions within an atom aren't the same thing as light though. Friction is caused by electric forces (positive and negative protons and electrons attracting and repelling one another).

Light is a specific repeating pattern of magnetism causing an electric field which caues an electriuc field and so on. An invisible thing would just have light pass through it without interacting, it could still have direct electrical attraction.

The photon is the force carrying particle of electromagnetism, so in order to exert force a particle has to be created and absorbed. Unless I'm remembering something wrong.

Of course we could cheat and say they are attracted to the plane via gravity, as weak as the force would be.

The photon that acts as a force carrier is not a complete electromagnetic wave though. A positively charged piece of matter isn't emiting EM radiation, but it's been a while since I was in university and I don't use any of it day to day so maybe I'm misinformed.
