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.

There are so many aliens out there.And they are intelligent enough to hide from us.They have been around here for long long years.But no one ever able to come up with a credible evidence of their existence.This shows ,how planned they are in their actions.But its not clear why they are here and whats their motive.What I think is that ,they are secretly planning to take over the world.

Here is a link to a Google video of a lecture William Cooper re: a cover-up (of alien activities).
The video is not top quality but it's worth listening to right to the end. It's called: Exposing the Illuminati... it describes stuff that is as credible as our his credentials (in my opinion) but that is for each viewer to determine.

Note: William Cooper was murdered (I don't know if the 2 events are linked).

i think it's very naive to think that we would be the only concious beings in the universe, or that we are the cleverest...
