I personally believe in the last one. Space is huge, you can’t just expect another intelligent life form around the corner.

I like what Hawking wrote about this. He said, our life here on earth is - compared to the life of the whole universe - only a short moment. It is not only a question of how and where contact happens, but also if two entities, able to communicate with each other, meet during their blink of a life span.

What about that scary one where it says something along the lines of:

“There’s a universally known looming threat in space that is invisible, and all the alien worlds are hiding from it which is why we can’t find anyone. The terrified aliens are shocked by the fact that we are sending signals everywhere, and want nothing to do with us because they suspect that it already found us and is observing us”

It’s silly but pretty cool nevertheless.
