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.

Maybe yes or maybe no! How can you explain that we are the only people living in the universe? If there are people living on planet earth perhaps there were also things that live in other planets. I don't think so that we are theonly fortunate human livings in this universe. Most probably, some extra-terrestrial civilization are more fortunate than us because they can able to visit us and were not!

Although extraterrestrials proliferate through-out the universe non ever has or ever will visit earth.
One day we may get a signal from one but that will be the extent of our relationship!

There is no proof of this .
Many UFO sightings occur near a millitary airbase.
Do u know why??
BEcause they are not UFOs but the millitary test flying state of the art futurstic aiircrafts.
But there is the possibility of aliens visiting us in future!!
Keep your fingers crossed

Yep. Look at Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Rodman.

difficult to carry close. the concept extraterrestrial beings inspired us would not have a lot data, yet there is not any data antagonistic to it. those mysteries are basically organic, how are we meant to carry close what our large-large-large-large-large-large-grea... extra greats- grandparents did with their lives. not many human beings knew a thanks to jot down decrease back then, some cultures did not have writing in any respect. And when we finally do locate that one in a million pill, we ought to parent out what the heck it says. and then, it ought to nonetheless say some thing as ineffective as "Ate some bread, lately the dominion replaced into-" (end of pill fragment) XD

life of any kind is a very unlikely event. even on earth it only happened once (we are all descendants of this first being).
the event (so far) cannot be duplicated even in lab conditions.
the idea of life elsewhere is fanciful.

There is no real evidence for it, just wide speculation and fakery (aka Von Daniken)

There are no traces and no proof of it anywhere, so the most likely answer is no.
