 At first when I was watching the series I had thought they were leading
 to an alien subplot but now that I have watched the series, for the most
 part again, I am fairly confident they are not aliens. Major Briggs or
 Cooper said how Project Bluebook was the investigation of UFOs and
 extra terrestrials which ended in 1969 with the conclusion there was no
 UFOs. Major Briggs said a few continued the project secretly but not
 listening to the stars but the woods/ground under Twin Peaks. The message
 that was intercepted for Coop, though the satellites were pointed at
 deep space, the message was generated from the woods in Twin Peaks (the
 message being "The Owls are not what they seem" and "Coop, Coop, Coop". The
 elements of The Black Lodge/White Lodge and Hawk's "people" believing the
 spirits that control the earth live in these places gives better evidence
 that they are spirits and not aliens. Another thing, at first when I saw
 the triple triangle symbol flying through space in the series and then
 bursting into flames, I thought it represented a radiation symbol - relating
 to aliens but after seeing the movie and someone pointing out the symbol
 looks like an angel, I think that is what it represents - remember Donna
 and Laura in the movie discussing what would happen if you kept falling in
 space - would you slow down eventually or speed up and Laura said you would
 speed up until you burst into flames and there won't be any angels around
 to help you.

  Speaking of the symbols.. Brigg's tatoo represents an Angel lets say,
  Margaret's looks like Twin Mountains, mirror images of themselves - Brigg's
  representing the heavens, Margret's the earth and possibly Bob/Mike's
  tatoo representing hell?
