The greatest evidence of INTELLIGENT life elsewhere in the universe is that they haven't tried to contact us yet. YES

Well, probably not.
The only way they'd be aware that we're here is by listening to our radio signals or at least seeing our lit-up cities from space. Those signals and light travel at, well, the speed of light. The distance that light travels in one year is called a light-year, and the nearest star that isn't our sun is four light-years away.
http://www.solstation.com/stars/s10ly.htm, which is concerned about this issue, sez that there's a slim possibility that one or another of these close stars has a planet capable of supporting life.
The problem is that there is a far greater chance of some sort of civilization living farther away than that, due to the larger number of stars contained in that larger radius. But we've only been broadcasting radio signals and bright lights for perhaps the past hundred years, so anyone farther than 100 light-years away won't have heard or seen us yet.
The light you'll see from the stars in the sky tonight left most of those stars millions of years ago.

imagine if there have been! What would it not do to the God believers? The non secular would have a lot egg on their face they might attempt to suppress it. it may well be hailed because the arriving of devil. The those who've had satelites up for years sending signals into area to discover yet another existence form would rally their militia shoot to kill or invade them to furnish them democrasy. some thing else of Earth would experience inadequate as we do no longer have the technologies to commute some distance, therfore those extraterrestrial beings will be seen as terrorists and our captors. No i imagine any extraterrestrial beings that existed would must be stupid or very effective and positive to go back the following and assume to be welcomed to boot it would take an finished 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to get through US Customs

Our radio signals would be reaching 100 light years approximately; unless they had faster than light travel (or had been here before), no civilisation outside that space could know about us, which makes the probability very low.

1. YES, quite a number of them might be aware. The possibility is high, indeed!
