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.

I believe they exist somewhere in the Universe... but not that they have ever visited Earth.
If some highly-advanced alien species had the means to travel the vast distances across space in anything like a reasonable amount of time (which would still be many, many years)... why would they visit Earth just to do some aerial acrobatics , kidnap a redneck, burn a cow, then go home?
So a definite no from me.

We are already here, and for those who cry wolf you will be the last to go!
We have someone interested in the real-estate so all you puny humans must be off the planet by the end of the month!

Nope, not me.
If aliens came all the way here, they would have technology to evade even being talked about by so called abductees.
ssuming they wanted to remain undetected, that is.
And if they did not bother to remain undetected, then they would be acting openly.
