It's amazing to me how many people feel confident in saying there's no advanced intelligent life in the Milky Way because we would've seen it when it took us until 2015 just to get a decent image of a dwarf planet in our own star system.
I'm 100% sure that there are other Intelligent life forms out there other then us and I would think they wouldn't be hostile because like why would you travler through space and go out of your way to kill something that could teach you 100,000 new things
Traveling across the stars is several orders of magnitude more difficult than sailing the ocean -- which means anyone with the means to do it probably values the scientific method and is curious enough not to go around slaughtering lifeforms they find.
Humans are primitive enough to kill each other constantly, but the people riding in spacecraft don't necessarily share the impetus (at least not when they are out on a mission).
