Corrected entry: Some of the world's most brilliant physicists would have been involved in the project, but when they see Ellie's capsule drop straight through to the bottom, they all dismiss the project as a failure and no one seems to back Ellie's testimonies. How could these physicists neglect to weigh up all the different possibilities? After all, they are conducting an experiment that is far beyond conventional science. Ellie herself is a brilliant scientist, so how did she neglect to check the footage recorded by her helmet cam and use it as evidence?

Correction: From the scientist's point of view, everything occured instantaneously. They thought the project was a failure precisely because it appeared the capsule dropped straight through to the bottom. Ellie's testimony could have been disregarded as a hallucination, or wishful thinking at best, especially with her talk of the alien looking like her father. As for the helmet cam, it was immediately taken from her when she was unconscious, and partially erased by those involved in the cover-up.
