    Alone as in the only life across the entire universe ? Absolutely not.
    Alone as in the only intelligent life form across the universe?
    A lot more plausible but still unlikely.

      Excluding a mass cataclysm (nuclear war, a hyper destructive pathogen), I think we’ll find evidence of extra-terrestrial life (if not life itself) in our own solar system in the next ~100 years.

      I would think somewhere out in the universe there is (was?) intelligent life.

      We’ve only confirmed exoplanets in the last ~40 years and the information we have is minimal (and biased towards gas giant type planets).

      There has to be intelligent life somewhere in the universe.
