"other civilizations way ahead of us"

you hear that a lot in the UFO research sites.

Although, I'm sure there are trillions of
"other civilizations way behind some of us"

Very possible. But currently we can't know anything about civilizations in 
other solar systems which don't have interstellar space travel. Nothing 
will reach Earth from them, and we don't have the tech to see them on their 
home planets.
