So far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist.
Why haven't we heard from them?
Perhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance.
Perhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that just flew by may be a surveillance craft.
Perhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa.
Perhaps they existed a million years ago and died out.
Perhaps they will exist a million years from now.
It is really impossible to know for sure.
The Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

Ive seen almost 20 ufos. The very first one I saw was on my 21st birthday. I lived in the mountains for a few years and have seen many meteors. Well this was the largest "meteor" ive ever seen. About 10 times larger and in the city with the city lights no less. It came out of the sky like a meteor, then suddenly it turned make a part left turn and part u-turn and then it exploded. The fragments that fell apart were light (like if you smash glass against a wall but the fragments that were visble were large. At least the ones I could see.) Judging from that experience and all my other experiences in life and studies I believe that ufo was trying to warn me that there is a battle going on between light and dark forces. There are good and bad aliens, and currently we have many aliens living on this planet already. The majority, obviously, drrssed as humans. And though none have ever walked up to me and said Hello Im an alien, judging from how strange they looked, staring at me, and their phychic abilities I believe they were. If you really want to learn about aliens and ufos Id say some conspiracy stuff is useful but Paul Solomons info is the best. Research him and you should learn a lot.

I see them every day. We are a small group altered to fit in and have been here for a long time. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species. Your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you and neither does your penchant to breed beyond your planet's ability to sustain you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

No, I've never seen space aliens. If there IS intelligent life out there, let's hope it's intelligent enough to stay away from us... :(

Yeah, they were brown with weird yellowish eyes, and they did not talk, but communicated by text, and they had an answer for everything!

Yes but I was always too high to remember what we discussed.
One time they told me about how to find world peace, but they must have erased my memory 'cause I would remember if they hadn't.
