       They may or may not have existed. I explained to you why they might have   
   existed Chicken, along with other explanations about possible xt beings and   
   reasons for some of their behavior. You were too scared to look at it, but that   
   didn't prevent me from explaining for anyone who might not be as much a coward   
   as you are. I pointed out that if there are beings capable of traveling from   
   one   
   star system to another they are most likely capable of absorbing, reflecting or   
   emitting electromagnetic radiation of many if not all wavelengths in pretty   
   much   
   any ways they want to. If so that would explain why humans don't detect them   
   with radar unless they want to be detected. It also explains why we don't see   
   them unless they want us to see them, so any actual sightings would be because   
   they displayed themselves deliberately, for whatever reason(s) they have for   
   revealing themselves to people on Earth. The same sort of thing could be true   
   of   
   the dog heads if they did exist. Anything I've heard about them has said they   
   were not from this planet. There's no reason to think xt beings could not have   
   produced such creatures, imo most likely as a sort of biological drone or   
   something, in order to reveal their existence to humans for whatever reason(s).   
   The reason for choosing that sort of form would be because it would be strong   
   evidence of beings from somewhere other than Earth, but using a familiar   
   friendly sort of form so as not to be overly terrifying to humans.
