It may be we are completely alone
12 possible reasons why we haven't encountered aliens.

https://www.space.com/37157-possible-reasons-we-havent-found-aliens.html

I like No 2.
There is no intelligent life besides us. (This assumes, of course, that humans count as intelligent.)

Humans may well be intelligent, we can build a nuclear bomb.......but how stupid are we for having 4000 of them dotted around the place, just waiting to destroy our planet :)

For those who have an interest in the subject , you might find this interesting.

Yes.

The truth is out there. Also they post on YouTube.

Seriously though I love this shit but the chances of intelligent alien life existing during our brief period on Earth and also being close enough to be detected is probably close to zero given the age of the universe and the vast distances. We will end up finding some basic life forms I guess. Titan could be a good bet.
 
Due to our understanding of evolution we would, by ourselves, be deemed one of the first. That it's self needs context though, first few civilizations or first few million? Also how many had the right ingredients, distance from star, sufficient magnetosphere all the things used in the refined drake equation really.

In short, we are not alone with my understanding of the maths (which is limited) involved. As Damocles notes, who is gauging chances of us existing? Be they in our or another galaxy, who else is aware of their own existence like us?

I like to think life will find a way long after the last star dies, this is my ultimate wish for life, to be able to exist with the remnants of a universe that gives no starlight anymore.

It might be a mistake looking for them and attempting to communicate with them though. Havent we got enough problems here on Earth ?
I mean, can we handle even more differing points of view and opinions ? Martians or whatever they may be called may force a second Brexit referendum, or they could be nasty and force Britain to be part of a new world order, a member of Eurasia, permanently at war with Oceania and Eastasia. Convince us all that war is actually peace..
 
Go outside on a clear night and look at the sky and have a think about the chances of us being the only life. Think about the odds of us being the most advanced or anywhere close to being. Cnt see it myself.

Have we been visited? Very likely. Do we still get visited or observed? Very possible I would think.
 
For those that may be interested in a more in-depth dive in to (intelligent) alien life probability theory, including Fermi’s Paradox and The Great Filter, among other interesting concepts...

In-depth, plain language, somewhat humourous write-up on the subject:

Nobody who has ever been to a game at the swamp would question whether Aliens exist.

It also provides proof that there are large numbers of Aliens with obviously inferior intelligence to the average human.

The only question remaining is whether there are alien beings more intelligent than us.
 
There's another similar to munber 9 on the list on the link. Maybe when we do encounter aliens we wouldn't even recognise them as life. It could be they resemble a small cloud of gas and their perception of time is different to ours. Our three day visit to their world might seem to them to be over in a few tenths of a second.

Any self respecting Prog fan would know they nicked that song from Klaatu :)

Dukinfield could worth a look.
 
According to a ufoligist I work with not only do they exist but we are fighting a war with them right now ! According to him if you buy some decent nightvision glasses you can watch the dogfights in the night sky between them and some secret world force that exists to protect our planet ! This world force is an agency set up by the government's of the world to protect the planet from invasion I guess we must be winning then .
