Here's a question...
From my friend David E:
Imagine that you've been contacted by aliens. You're satisfied that you're not insane, didn't hallucinate it, etc. -- that it really, truly happened. However, you have no objective proof to show anyone to convince them -- no artifacts, no mysterious tattoos, no burn patterns on the ground, no impossible knowledge, nothing. Not even a damn crop circle.
How would you convince people it really happened? Say you had a message to deliver, for example, so there's a reason you need to convince people. How would you get people to believe that you're not insane?
Remember:
1) You know it's true.
2) You have no evidence to show anyone else.
3) You need to convince people it happened.
well? what would you do?

"Contact" with Jodie Foster, although this point is better covered in the novel by Carl Sagan.
I'd make a movie about it. People believe movies.
