That's not to say ET hasn't already figured out how to get to us, but I have to see it myself.
When we consider for a moment the vastness of the universe, I find it almost impossible not to believe another form of life is out there somewhere.

Exactly... unfortunately too many people get wrapped up in the fantasy of meeting another intelligent life form with no idea of just how vast the universe is or how far away the closest galaxy is.
When I was visiting the central coast a few month back I was watching the sun go down and talking to a friend on the phone... 20 or 30 miles down the coast I see a small cigar shape moving slowly out from the mountains over the ocean... after five or ten minutes it suddenly disappeared... I have watched enough sunsets to be 99.99% sure it was just a natural phenomena.
I was describing the whole thing to my friend on the phone as it was happening thinking it was a blimp... when it disappeared he jokingly asked me "dude, has you started smoking pot?"
