I was hoping that they would treat the D-21B crash site examination like a C.S.I episode. I would give some background on the incident and explain my research methods for locating the debris field. Then I would demonstrate methods for identifying the pieces through the use of materials, construction methods, markings analysis, and comparison to photographs and official documentation. That didn't work for "MysteryQuest." They wanted an unidentified object crash and they insisted on sending a sample for scientific analysis. It didn't matter that the lab would only be able to tell them the material was manufactured on Earth but couldn't distinguish between "part of an aircraft or a farm implement." On camera, I talked about the D-21B and the accident. I showed them photos and diagrams that clearly depicted parts I had found. None of this material made the final cut.
