I know a lot of people want to believe that life is everwhere because it's a very exciting thought. Heck, it's even the mission statement of NASA. But realistically--I know, I know, it's boring to be realistic--it doesn't look like there is anything within the solar system at the very least. Certainly not anything that could be considered 'intelligent'--including most humans.
