I haven't had time to read all responses here but I did just think "... What if there are tiny UFO's too?".

ETA: Maybe that's what my dogs have been barking at in the middle of the night for the last three weeks...hmmmmmmm....

With a magnetic field surrounding the starship...it will protect the crew and craft from dangerous high energy particles. I also believe that the magnetic field will protect the starship when it breaks the speed of light barrier.

It's all good and fine... except when you encounter rocks in space that are not magnetic.
If the magnetic shields have the ability to contain highly pressurized electrified fusion plasma...they should be able to deflect anything --- magnetic or non-magnetic.
Just my 02.
I was browsing over at ATS's Space Exploration forum, about a thread concerning Cern's release statement that they are creating a superconducting magnetic shield for astronauts.

It works on the fusion plasma because the fusion plasma has a net charge or is magnetized. Materials that are not electrically charged and non-magnetized will not be effected by electromagnetic fields.
That's not how it works.
Well frogs have metal in them, like iron, which is ferromagnetic, so it is not surprising that a strong magnetic field would lift a frog.
