It is fairly interesting....and it can't be specifically a biological thing, people didn't talk about aliens until 70 years ago, and the FBI didn't exist...
I think people with psychoses such as these (and here I must apologise, I am guessing and certainly someone who has experienced this could say more) have a feeling of invasion--they are no longer secure in their own self, others can intrude--their boundaries of body and self are vulnerable. The mode of intrusion is picked from things/events around them--these days aliens, radio waves, etc. There are other types of hallucinations and delusions, but you are right that these in particular hapen for people a lot. You have to look at what feelings are behind these themes and illusions....
