I'm glad Ellie was reunited with her father, but why was the experience her father gave her engineered to make her look like a liar? All the video footage was erased, and the capsule disappeared and reappeared in the same split second of time, making it look like it fell in a straight line. The few people who did believe her would probably be doubted just as much as she was, and would keep their belief a closely guarded secret. What was the point of the whole experience?
