Don't lose your cool yet. We've got a long way to go..
Until you have evidence that there is, the reasonable stance is to not believe that there is any sentient life on any planet circling the nearest 15 stars to Sol (except for ours); especially since we have little idea of what the odds actually are.
The "reasonable" thing to do is to say, "I do not know if there is any sentient life there...and it is my opinion that none of my other fellow humans does either."
