I guess you could say the same that just because you don't think it was full of aliens, doesn't mean it wasn't......

I do think however that it is very unlikely there is civilisation on the scale of what we are at. Think about it. Civilisation as we know it has existed for maybe 250 years (since the industrial revolution?). Space travel has been around for 50 years.
The probability that another planet, that has been there for billions of years, is in that same few hundred or even few thousand year window as us is exceedingly small.
Microbes, bacteria, etc are another matter entirely, and I think they are almost certainly around. Possibly even in our solar system, in Titan for instance which has water ice on it

Aliens are real buddy no trolling here.
At this stage perhaps I should state that when I was 10 years old I did actually see a UFO.
What's more it wasn't just something vague, but fairly convincing to a rather intellectual and sceptical kid - even admittedly a bit "Sheldon-ish".
Therein lies much of the debate. Just because it was to you, an Unidentified Flying Object, does not automatically make it full of alien life forms.

Who is to say that they aren't a few thousand years in advance of us and have other fuel sources/technology to be able to pull it off.
Agree with Squids... we are not alone
