The idea for those type of movies originally stemmed from America's response to the spread of communism, and how we could've been invaded by the Soviets. Plus, the concept of extra-terrestrials is natural due to humanity's strong curiosity in the universe.

I definitely believe in other life forms out in the universe, though (the probability of us being the only ones is just too slim). I'll admit, however, that I have doubts about their visitation to our planet...

Video was interesting, but kind of corny.

Or... it could be the psychological need for mankind to want a "fatherly figure" to be looking after them. Of course, if you want to dismiss Freud then go ahead.
