The only aliens we will ever contact will be in this Galaxy. Its the only place that is plausibly close enough. If they are frequent in the Galaxy, they are frequent everywhere. If they are infrequent in this Galaxy they are likely so many galaxies far away that their messages would only reach us from a long long time ago and be beyond faint.

With our own galaxy being 52,000 light years across ( rough estimate), it bring me back to my point.... roughly 5,875,000,000,000 miles is a light year so to speak, if there is anything in our own galaxy, they wouldn't be observing us let alone the human race. So I fully doubt we will ever make contact with another life form.

If we were to, I doubt it would end well for either.
