I think it's very fair to say we are absolutely alone in this galaxy, more than likely alone within the known universe and probably alone in the entire universe.
OTR!

How do you know they aren't here right now? Maybe they farted their way through the galaxy and are killing humans off with cancers and by controlling Dick Cheney's mind?
Maybe they see us as we see a cockroach or an ant. Do you try to communicate with cockroaches or ants? Maybe they just want to kill us off and their concept of time is different from ours.
Maybe they are perfectly happy taking a few hundred years to kill off the human race so they can then farm broccoli on our planet while setting up shop on Europa to also kill off the Space Monkeys living in the ocean there.
Maybe their only goal is to kill and expand, making communication with others unnecessary.
