Carl Sagan, or Contact 1997?
But yes I agree, and even if the Earth exists in a 'Goldilocks' zone, the claim that NO other life forms have developed somewhere among the estimated 10
24 stars in the known universe seems illogical. An estimate that rises as our abilities of observation increase.
Personally, I like Arthur C Clarke's suggestion that lifeforms could exist in Jupiter's gasses and beneath the ice of Europa - and therefore by implication almost anywhere. Even in our upper atmosphere, perhaps?
But whether any of those lifeforms have developed interstellar travel and have somehow happened upon the Earth within the void, and are abducting rednecks, is another question entirely.
