Someone has to be #1 and we have yet to see anything out there to indicate that it's not us. It's not like we're that far from being so advanced that our presence is noticeable from other stars.
In 100 years we've went from zero presence to broadcasting signals, sending out probes into deep space and legitimately having a plan of how to colonize another planet. In another 100 years? Having some sort of infrastructure in space that is identifiable from outside of our solar system doesn't seem to be that out to lunch.
And hey, they're starting to do spectroscopy on the atmosphere of exoplantets. Who knows what that might uncover. Hopefully some irregularities that tickle our curiosity.

When disclosure happens, and it will, you will realize just how primitive we really are.
