I first started reading this post, that quote up there from "Contact" is exactly what I thought of!
Anyways...I believe that there is other life out there somewhere, but they haven't stumbled across us yet-or vice versa in the small amount of space that we've travelled ourselves....
About a month ago, I watched a bit of History channel about S.E.T.I. and there was actually a signal that a group found (I think it was in the '70s) that was actually arguably proven to be something other than a star, planet, or blackhole. If I remember correctly, the signal lasted for about 5 minutes...maybe somewhere else here has more info on this, but I thought it was pretty kewl......some ppl argue that it wasn't intelligent life.......
