  Nobody can categorically state that aliens do not exist, but then neither can they state they do either. However probability states that it is highly likely that intelligences are out there.
  
  The sheer unimaginable scale of the universe in size and throughout time implies that it is highly likely there were great civilisations 'out there' that flourished and bit the dust long before the dinosaurs appeared. Similarly there will be others that will not appear until long after we have become extinct and Earth turned to a cinder.
  
  What is highly unlikely is that even if interstellar travel were possible, that another civilisation of just the correct level of technological advancement is out there in local proximity and is visiting us. Not impossible mind, just highly unlikely. Much more likely is that there are countless worlds stretched out across the barren wastes populated with little more than bacteria.
  
  As mentioned above by another poster, UFOs have nothing to do with this issue, and Star Trek is just entertainment, not a serious proposition that all aliens have latex bumpy foreheads and wear lycra.
