I don't doubt that there is life, even intelligent life out there in the universe. But I can't see that life wanting to deal with a substandard, self-defeating species such as our selves. Hell, if I could travel the galaxy and other universes, one of the last places I'd go would be Earth. I feel that it's analogous to spending your entire life studying a single colony of ants. The ants sure as hell aren't going to comprehend you and it's unlikely you'll get much out of the ants, except for a few interesting lower order social structure observations. Pretty much a waste of time, especially if you have some kick ass space craft.

I have serious misgivings about 97% of all UFO reports. I don't doubt that our planet has probably been visited now or anytime in the past by extraterrestrial forms. But I hardly believe they are conspiring to take over and rule the world.
