Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but also at the same time absence of evidence is not evidence of presence either.
We haven't even found one microbe in space we didn't take there (yet). (according to mainstream science anyway)

So however likely it is doesn't mean it is definitely going to happen.

Also it is a bit early to speculate about what role intelligence will play in different 'biospheres' because at the moment we only have one example to go by.
My understanding is that intelligence is notoriously hard to measure and define and many animals are capable of doing things we would assume outside of their capabilities according to brain size etc.

I am not somebody who doesn't think UFO's are a reality, I just have a different take on them. And don't mind if they come from Mars or Earth, just as long as they are not up to no good, which some of them allegedly are.
One of the reasons I prefer Bigfoot to be honest. And some people even accuse them of being bad
