Well there's that, too. What we can perceive as human is a miniscule fraction of the whole of existence - we already know that because, with technology, we can perceive a hundred times more that is beyond our physical senses (infrared, ultraviolet, and everything beyond that in either direction) so it is entirely feasible that there are sentient beings all around us, or at least nearby (in intergalactic terms) that are simply not in the same sphere of existence as us. If so, they wouldn't even need to be able to travel fast, they might be "right next door", and it might just be a matter of each developing the technology to "see" each other. Maybe they can even see us already, and are just waiting for us to catch up so that we can communicate. Maybe they've been watching us like a big reality TV show for centuries!
