The problem with this is we have a sample size of precisely one when estimating life in the universe. It's all pretty speculative.
We have no idea of how common or uncommon life actually might be, we can assume it's relatively rare because if the universe was teaming with the life you think we could have more evidence of that now than random unsubstantiated sightings.
I think there is life out there but it's rare and intelligent life is rarer still. Intelligent life then can develop technologies to travel the universe and/or communicate with us
extremely rare.
The sheer size of the universe means that odds could still be met but, in my opinion, so rare would these civilisations would exist hundreds of millions or billions of light years away making any contact impossible under our current understanding of the laws of physics. It might be they existed billions of years ago in a galaxy billions of light years away, they might have formed, developed, and died before life even started here.
