To see if we are viable breeding stock for their planet where fertility was on the decline due to advanced psychiatric evolution. They nearly had the problem turned around when warrior species 7249 from the gamma quadrant attacked with a radiation dose that ended their plans.

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.

The "real agenda" includes the abduction of pretty much all of the species of animals on earth to try and determine which one is most intelligent - unfortunately, since they only seem to abduct Clyde's second cousin and they generally search for their victims in cornfields at night, they haven't as yet figured out which specie is the most intelligent.

If indeed such events are occuring only the aliens know for sure. We could speculate that they are doing so to study us much like we study animals; there could be sinister reasons such as a pre-cursor to invasion, they could be trying to find a cure for all illness for us. Or maybe they are perverts and just like giving people anal probes.

Ironically - its for their entertainment.
Some people like to travel to Mexico for donkey shows, some people like museums, some people like to visit nature sites.
Some aliens simply like to travel to Earth to perform cattle mutilations, anal probes, etc.
Might sound funny - but if it came out that Earth was really an alien tourist stop the governments think the human population would panic enmass

My made up theory.
They already know we exist, and have no need to test us. They are just giving us little hints to their existance.
"Look! An abduction."
"I wonder who did it."
"I know! Aliens!"
-Thus, we know they exist.
