That's just it - the universe is so large that is it likely that another sentient species would even run into another? There is a formula that predicts how likely intelligence with the capacity to travel through space would arise. Granted, nearly all the variables are completely unknown, but we can make some educated guesses. The article I read worked out to about 2 or 3 species existing at the same time per galaxy.

Again, there's alot of space out there. We might not be a 'space faring' society at the moment, but I think we are on the brink of it.

Now that doesn't mean it CANT happen, just that its very highly unlikely to happen. I can think of several scenarios that would make aliens messing with us valid and true - but each of these ideas would require some kind of acceptable evidence beyond first person accounts or blurry and jiggly images.

Oh, after rereading your statement, iamsomisty, i see you were not alluding to alien earth visitors, simply probability that there are other sentients out there somewhere, which I also accept as highly likely.
