From a purely mathematical standpoint, it is inconceivably improbable that we are the only intelligent (by our definition) life-forms in the universe.
Yet also from a purely mathematical standpoint, it is equally improbable that whatever life out there would either a) be able to contact us, b) want to contact us or c) allow us to notice them.
So in order,
1) Probably government (either ours or foreign) tests that they don't want anyone to know about. Government has a long history of lying to the public about research and the like.
2) It's doubtful, for the reasons above. Much more probable that the three are looking for their Tsoukalos moment. But I certainly think other life is out there.
3) Again, extraordinarily improbable. But in the event it were true, the alien lifeforms are more likely than not thousands, if not millions or billions of years more advanced than us, and we're screwed no matter what our reaction is. It ain't gonna play out like a real-life Independence Day.
