Hubble's Ultra Deep Field image shows more than 10,000 galaxies. Each one of those has at LEAST 100 billion stars (many with 10 times that and more) with who-knows how many planets. The UDF is only an EXTREMELY tiny portion (like, less than 1%
of the sky, and that's not even counting the visible galaxies.
To say nothing of all the galaxies we cannot see yet.
To say that we're the only sentient life in the universe is incredibly egotistical.
The odds are very good that we're not the only ones looking up and wondering.
