Do they exist out there somewhere in the universe? Almost certainly. Do they possess FTL travel advanced enough to reach us? Not likely given our current understanding of the universe, but that is always changing so it's possible. Have they actually come here to visit/study/manipulate us? Almost certainly not. Of course, there's never a way to be sure.
