Itake it thenn Robert the idea does,nt strike you as being
an explanation for the Alien threat than the classical "another planet concept"
It would be a neat theory for Jackson to confront Straker with after a few years of private research.
It would explain the illogical and the inconsistent.
Imagine a convention called by Straker and Jackson et al
to reveal the real origin of the threat.Call it the Pluto convention (apparently Pluto appeared from nowhere having
not appeared on previous photographic plates of the same area of space).
The motivation for alien action would,nt be a central issue and would give more creative freedom.

Considering some of the "Ideals" Jackson has thrown out over the course of the series, it is a wonder that Straker listens to him at all.
Admittedly, I don't have all of the shows yet, but I don't believe he had a very good batting average.
As for the ideal you postulate about us "Creating" the UFOes much as the little girl did in the end of Sightings, which is going to rerun on Sci-Fi sometime later, just what happened to all the people and things that were destroyed by the UFOes? Was it all just a mass delusion, or did we never really leave our homes and Straker has been OBEing to work every day? (Out of Body Experience)
The motivation of the aliens has to remain a central tenet of the show or we lose a major reason for their existance. Man can come up with plenty of reasons in which to fight himself. He has no need to drag in the ultimate outsiders, as it were, to be a target of his inhumanity towards himself.
Pluto came from "Nowhere" or we just didn't have the technology yet to see it? Just as we have never actually seen a "Quark", but we know they exist because they react to other subatomic particles.
