Is there some report that shows the enemy ships that are currently sighted by my ships or in my systems. Not the enemy designs on the design window, but the ones in space.

Not a report as such, but if you look at the map window, you'll find that every system with a visible enemy presence has a small triangle filling its circle.

Just look through those selected systems to find all the enemies that your ships can see.

Thanks, I never even saw that.

np.
I should add two points:

1) Its not really "enemies" that trigger the triangle, but "aliens" in general, even friends.

2) If you can't seem to find the enemy ship, try looking behind planets with moons by clicking 'em. A moon colony is obscured from your view by the parent planet, and could make for a nasty surprise.

Another place to look for "spy ships" is in the corners. If your opponent (anyone spying on me is an opponent) has a darker colored shipset, they can be hard to spot in the corners. Especially in the top left, under the name of the system.
