I'm also convinced as well (look up the Drake Equation). However, they most likely have not made contact. We might have detected them or they might have detected us.
Communications over interstellar distances would be very difficult due to the light-speed limit of electromagnetic waves.
I also believe that it is possible to build a faster than speed of light travel mechanism. Then you get into the question of the chance of us randomly meeting another race. The statistical probability is virtually zero for such random contact.
Once they detect our civilization... then the chance of contact goes up dramatically. Radio waves from earth have been transmitting for about 100 years. There are an estimated 76 stars within 100 light years. We have not detected radio transmissions from those stars
In my opinion we need to be detectable by at least 10,000 stars to likely run into another civilization that would have the ability to detect our signals, and respond.
The chances are much lower that said civilization would have a Faster Than Light travel capability.
IIN to believe in aliens?

If you traveled at the speed of light towards a direction in space wouldnt you run a tremendous risk of hitting an object in your way?
Im sure you have heard about the wow signal from the 1970s. Its possible something has detected us already.
