Are we are being watched from afar?
The probability that aliens are watching us can be calculated. There are billions of galaxies with billions of planets circling billions of suns.

That amounts to more probable planets than there are grains of sand in the Sahara Desert.

Is it fiction or non-fiction to believe in Aliens?
fiction
fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets.
Science fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life
Fiction generally is a narrative form, in any medium, consisting of people, events, or places that are imaginary—in other words, not based strictly on history or fact
Non-fiction
Nonfiction is any document or media content that intends, in good faith, to present only truth and accuracy regarding information, events, or people. Nonfictional content may be presented either objectively or subjectively. Wikipedia
With all the above known, what are our scientists doing to make the first contact-?
Europe's New Deep-Space Listening Station Rises
The European Space Agency's new deep-space tracking station in Malargue, Argentina, will serve as a vital communications link to spacecraft exploring the solar system. The 35-meter antenna is part of ESA's ESTRACK network and was completed in 2012
Earlier this month, NASA's Kepler Mission announced it had found 54 planets orbiting stars in so-called "habitable zones" in our galaxy, where the climate could be suitable for liquid water.
After the planets were found, NASA alerted the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) of their locations. The institute's scientists started listening to those planets, and while they haven't heard any intelligent life yet, there's plenty of other noise to be heard in space.
Tuning In Space Noise For Sounds Of Life
What Intelligent Noise Could Sound Like
If scientists at SETI do hear an alien signal, it probably won't sound like Saturn's aurora. That signal is astrophysical, meaning it occurs naturally. The SETI Institute is hunting for a signal that doesn't.
"The reason we look for that," Tarter says, "is that technology can create such signals very inexpensively — and it doesn't seem to be possible for nature to do that naturally."
Like a signal that shows up at only one frequency on the radio dial: Tarter says a signal like that could help answer the question, "Are we alone?"
China Built the World’s Largest Telescope, But Has No One to Run It
China’s FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope) is the largest radio telescope in the world, dwarfing the 1,000-foot (305-meter) Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. FAST was a heavy lift for China, with a final price tag of $180 million.
The probability that there are living aliens watching us is extremely high and I believe the reason they have not made contact

Why are they not talking to us-?
So; what remains is the ultimate question, why have they decided not to reveal themselves?
The Star Trek TV series could provide us with one possibility.
The primary code as set out is not to disturb the evolutionary process of developing planets. You can watch, you can record but you cannot touch.
Some day they will say hello and I believe that day will come when humanity ends wars, ends murdering each other. That day will come when we become civilized and that day will come if and only if we do not destroy mankind before then.
What say you, fellow human- what would you say if,----- no; when they came knocking on your door?
Yes. We are being watched, and judged
