There has been no credible evidence found that there is other intelligent life outside of humanity.
That said, the possibility is there. Of ~200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, astronomers have barely begun to find planets that might be capable of supporting life as we know it. I consider it very likely that there is other life, but our odds of finding it anytime soon are quite low, considering the vast distances involved.

A few decades back, radio astronomers found a repeated burst of electromagnetic energy, pulses in the range of several dozen per minute, if I remember right. The frequency was so preciseand so high that initially it looked to have an intelligent source, as nothing known in nature at that time culd account for it. Later it was determined that such signals came from pulsars, a rapidly-rotating leftover of a nova. That's about the closest we've ever come to finding evidence of intelligent life.

None yet, but the probability we're the only life would be pretty incredible. There are trillions of stars in each galaxy, among trillions of galaxies. We have found that many stars have planets, and even a few that might be capable of sustaining life.
Now when the question comes down to intelligent life - well if it could happen here, I'd like to think it could happen elsewhere as well.

No hard scientific evidence whatsoever. However, there are an estimated 70-sextillion (..70 followed by 21 zeros..) stars in the universe. We've found over 240 planets around many of those stars that are virtually right in our own backyard. It follows then that there are an enormous number of other planets in the universe. The odds that none of them harbor intelligent life are astronomical (..pun intended..)

Humans are not the only "intelligent" life on THIS planet. You do NOT need to look elsewhere. (Possibly also NOT the MOST intelligent! That is STILL under debate.)

None, yet. Simple probability, however, guarantees that if life developed on earth, it will or already has somewhere else, too.
Someday we'll find life. That is to say if we even recognize it as such. And that we don't kill. Maybe we shouldn't find any other forms of life, now that I think about it.

The proof that there is more intelligent life in the universe is that they have been smart enough to stay away from us.

The abscense of evidence is not the evidence of abscence.
In other words, there hasn't been any proof found yet, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any proof.

This surgeon has removed implants from patients that are of extra-terrestrial origin.......he is an MD. It's kinda hard to argue with him if you know anything about medicine. If you are not a doctor than you really can't discredit him.

Are you scared of finding out the truth?

Why do you consider US intelligent?
