Space is unbelievably big.

In the last few decades, we've learned almost

every star in the cosmos has planets. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is
estimated to have up to 400 billion stars. If each of those has five planets,
we’d have two trillion planets in our galaxy alone. In other words, there’s a
lot of real estate out there. And with so much variety, I find it impossible to
believe Earth is the only planet that has life — including intelligent and
technologically-advanced life.

The head of NASA suspects that we are not alone in the universe—or
multi-universes, for that matter.
“My personal opinion is that the universe is so big, and now, there are
even theories that there might be other universes. If that’s the case,
who am I to say that planet Earth is the only location of a life form that
is civilized and organized like ours?” 
2. 1977, The unexplained extraterrestrial “Wow!” signal is detected by an
Ohio State University radio telescope

In August 1977 an Ohio State University radio telescope detected an unusual pulse of
radiation from somewhere near the constellation Sagittarius. The 37-second-long signal
was so startling that an astronomer monitoring the data scrawled “Wow!” on the
telescope’s printout.

As the nearest star in that direction is 220 million light years away, either a massive
astronomical event – or intelligent aliens with a very powerful transmitter would have
had to have created it. The signal remains unexplained.
