Hi Clare
Well the big flaw in Jackson's theory re the aliens being 'Formless entities possessing human bodies' is expressed in my 'Old Toyota' example in my original post (ie: A guy with an old Toyota would just steal a new one to drive, and not use it for spare parts for his crappy Toyota). So the whole notion about Aliens stealing human organs is to sustain their bodies (which is their 'actual bodies' ie: they are not 'formless beings' as theorized by Dr Jackson in the episode).
But you are correct that there may be 2 alien nations visiting earth in UFOs with different plans and needs for the Earth. The booklet that came with the Carlton DVD boxset does mention the original concepts written by Andersons & Reg Hills (some of which did not make it into the series), and that the so-called 'UFO Men' were to consist of 2 separate alien cultures who were at war with each other, and that they were using earth as a sort of battleground. If this concept is still canon in the series then the 2 warring alien cultures must have the same equipment and uniforms (ie: UFOs, and red spacesuits). That would explain why the Aliens sometimes just want to abduct humans for organ transplantation, whilst at the other times they seem to just want to destroy the earth (as in 'Destruction' and the 'Long Sleep'). If this early UFO concept still stands then it could be explained that there are obviously 2 alien cultures visiting the earth in their UFOs. One culture just wants to sustain itself with human organs, whereas the other culture just wants to stop their alien rival from doing that (even if that means blowing up the earth in the process).
