It's a very big universe.

It may be a long time indeed before there is any contact.

If ever . . .

The miracle of a planet that substains life is uncalculable. It could be quite possible that we are it.

Maybe they should be asking themselves what they have done to deserve being contacted by the aliens of presumably far superior intelligence and technology. The aliens are a busy lot, with their own alien problems, so why should they waste their alien time and resources for some gasbags in Royal Astronomical Society to pat themselves on their collective backs?

[Hawk1976]

Just think of this, if a couple of cavemen in Africa set up a really large acoustic ear, with no understanding of electronics or RF communications to try and hear "other people" who had these concepts, they might be forced to conclude that there was no other intelligent life on Earth, despite the fact that South America and Europe are talking to each other.

Our technology may not allow us to contact or hear anyone, until we are out in space.

It's about the same as believing in ghosts. All of the negative evidence means nothing if there is one "proof".

"But I am not really willing to accept your premise, because it may well be that the means of communications they have are of a kind that we do not know how to receive, and that they would not have the means of communicating with sufficiently powerful radio or optical signals. That is something which, technologically, is too difficult for them but they would have some other means we would not recognize." -- Thomas J. Gold (Communication with Extraterrestial Intelligence)

The aliens were listening, until they figured out how to use the TV signal, and...
