Although I know the concept of a tulpa it is may understanding they require a concentrated mind to meditate and project them and they become like waking dreams that are like vivid hallucinations but over time can become more real and feed on there creator even draining them to death (one reason they are regarded as dangerous) and become more and more real to the point were they can attain physical manifestation.
Well, I think they require a mind that has been altered. A mind that has undergone ego-death and rebirth - aka the shamanic initiatory crisis. The unconscious mind opens up and swallows the ego-self... pulls it into the 'underworld', breaks it into a million pieces, puts it back together and spits it back out to consciousness. That's basically what alien abductions are all about.
Disciplines such as meditation and yoga and ritual use of entheogens are ways of preparing for and artificially inducing that age-old initiatory crisis... which can happen spontaneously.
A UFO contactee/abductee is basically the urban shaman of the sci-fi/comic-book mythos which is deeply rooted in the ET image. Shamans don't have to do it all from scratch every generation... they inherit and interpret a legacy.
If it was the subconscious then why is the world not filled with super babe beauty's and strapping six packed lifeguards (oh sorry I forgot about muscle beach) if you catch my drift.
Yeah I catch your drift. It's a good question, and I think it has to do with the Jungian principle of enantiodromia. In order to have an age with a super-abundance of magic super babes, we have to have an age with very few magic super babes. In order to have an age of enlightenment we have to have an age of ignorance.

Yup, it makes sense.
I believe that enlightenment takes more than ego-death and rebirth. Being born again makes one an inexperienced infant of sorts all over again. There is a growing-up process with dangers along the way.
Yeah, definitely don't get me wrong. You are, imo, one of the very most interesting posters here at ATS.
In light of your comment above, especially as regards "dangers," did you read the posts by kantzfeldt about the vampyr language thing? I couldn't parse it all at the moment because of other issues taking up time, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on it for when I can look at it more in-depth.

There are a number of things I can think of that would lend support to this hypothesis, such as:
1. The university group that 'invented' a ghost and said ghost would rap on the table etc
2. Another 'invented' ghost which was sighted by multiple, believable witnesses.
3. The design of UFOs matching the design styles / cultural expectations of the time they were witnessed.
Forgive me for my lack of references - I don't have time to trawl the web at the moment.

From personal experience, I've come to believe that cloud formations above a particular location during Summer twilight (when the sky is a pale blue, and clouds are a dark blue) are actually pictograms representing past and current events. Most of the time clouds are long streaks, but when they break up, they form shapes a bit like boats, people and weapons. I've started to take photos to see what the correlation is. The strangest one was seeing a W shaped cloud while others were triangles and plane shaped. The W shape actually matched a folding flying car.

Have you ever seen a UFO interacting with it's environment in real life? I have, and it was no projection.
However, interesting read.

I'm going to submit this theory to the Repetitious Department of Renewed Redundancy, of course, all forms must be submitted in triplicate.

I think it's highly likely a 'mix' of...physical manifestations of thought, other dimensional 'entities', genuine extraterrestrial activity, and lets not forget - government manipulation (I found lots of 'outside' confirmation of your aviary 'stuff' Mr. Gut).

Uhhhmmm.... no. So if we see a mass sighting of something strange or out of this world, we're supposed to think we created it in our minds. Before we were told that it would be a mass hallucination created by mind control.
Well know when the photos and videos are taken.

How about creating man in his own image?

It is no secret that often the psyche can project things into physical manifestation, so it stands to reason that it occurs through collective thought at times. In fact creative visualization in recent years even became "mainstream" on a minor level with the success of books like "The Secret"- but on an individualized level.
Often I wonder about The Webbot program- is it at it's core an experiment in collective projectionism? Does it follow and gather internet trends for the true purpose of discovering whether or not when enough people are thinking about something if it will manifest physically?
There are also the personal accounts of witnesses to UFO phenomena who claim to feel like there is some sort of psychic connection with the "vehicles" and claim that their movements are in sync with their thoughts.
If one were to study witchcraft he would find that the tools used for ritual or "spell casting" are actually only subliminal cues that focus the mind on the task at hand to enable a deeper psychic focus of energies to reach a particular goal. It is not the candles, herbs and elements that cause manifestation of the magic but the power of the psyche itself.

I think that part of the reason that so little progress has been made in figuring out the 'answer' to the UFO conundrum is precisely because there are so many different 'sources' from which the experiences of them are generated.
There are even subtypes, i.e. other dimensional entities who get their jollies deliberately messing with our heads! (One of Jacque Valle's theories)
And now I have to ask:
Does it bother anyone else that the people who are more aware/awakened are stuck living in a 'reality' which is basically dictated by the collective unconsciousness of the 'sleepwalkers/materialists', simply because they are in the majority?
This ticks me off no end, because I can in no way foresee that the ratios are ever going to change in the world's favor...and I say "world's favor" because it's not only the UFO issue which is being thought formed by this majority...
You only have to look at the continual deterioration of the state of the world (on all fronts - societal, economical, environmental, etc.) to see that it is being 'driven' by the collective unconscious of an increasingly despondent, disengaged, hopeless "majority" population...
How do the few awakened/awakening overcome that?
Maybe we should 'pray' that there are real UFOs with aliens who are getting ready to over-ride the negative effects of the currant collective unconscious?

which can be very much like the ~Tulpas~ the OP introduced
i have long stated that UFOs are 'spirit things' generated in our brains/psyches into a physical manifestation
