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.

as a matter of fact, this christmas weekend. I dont know if it was an alien or what. My friend described it as a flying creature that resembled a prehistoric pterydactyl. He was dropping these things from the sky and we actually have some of this on film

Sure! Statistically, there should be plenty of aliens... How do you know we didn't come from an alien planet?

Who can prove they aren't real?
The latest article I read stated 98% of flying saucers can be explained but the other 2% is still open.

Sure they are real.
The Bible even said so.
It said that God created the Earth.
I don't think he ever lived on the Earth.
So, he must have been the first Alien.
