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.

Yeah. There HAVE to be aliens out there. We would be arrogant to think we are the only ones. But we will never make contact. Unless we discover something like an alternate dimension in which distances are much smaller, like shifting your feet a nanometer moves you from The U.S. to Korea, there is almost no chance we will meet other aliens.

No, the "info" they positioned forward often already has an evidence interior the way of existence it originated from, and those that verify it quite is evidence for extraterrestrial beings are basically prepared to forget approximately approximately something that doesn't help their declare. not sure what practice you especially observed, yet fairly some the theories are a team of purple herrings taped at the same time. It makes magnificent fiction nonetheless, i observed a youtube on historic tech, and at the same time as he replaced right into a super storyteller, he might initiate each and every declare with, 'i understand there's no evidence for this...yet once you forget approximately approximately that and basically pass with me," then he might communicate approximately how his "interpretation" replaced into that it replaced into evidence for extraterrestrial beings, then he might say, "Now utilising that as a stepping stone, i understand this next area isn't substantiated via something, yet.." then pass on. So once you're prepared to forget approximately approximately that each and each unmarried factor replaced into paper skinny, then yea, all of it comes at the same time, yet on that journey you ought to remember what the previous info replaced into,and that it quite factors to no longer something.

Well those who don't believe there is life, other than us out there are pretty stupid, in the vastness of space, why would we be so privilaged to have it to ourselves.
I think that aliens have been to planet Earth, but far before us humans were ever here, so yes I agree.

That's a pretty good analogy. All you have to do is multiply the relative distance between them by several billion times and it will be even more accurate!
