I wont go as far as saying your living in a fishbowl but just consider:

1) a mere 100 odd years ago man couldn't fly and now we go 17,500 mph and go into earths orbit with the space shuttle.
2) 150 years ago it took an average of 3 months to travel from NY to LA, now it takes 4 hours and can be done in an hour or so
3) A little over 500 years ago the people thought the world was flat and the Americas were a myth. Now it's populated by about 700 million.

What if another form of intelligent life is only 1000 years older than us?

1000 years = a blip in time.

Moral of the story..nothing seems "impossible"
