so as to not tip my hand as to just how accurate
the dating technique I will be using really is!)
So what does THAT tell you?!

That 'metal' I believe is called Mylar.
Your theory seems unlikely.
Mylar can "flatten out"; however, after being crunched into a ball it still retains many creases and crinkles when it does "flatten" back out.

Was it reported that there were no creases or crinkles when it fattened back out? It may have been but I didn't see it.

Yeah -- I'm not sure if I ever read that it retained no wrinkles or creases (although like you said, maybe I missed that part of the first-hand description), just that it unfolded back to its original shape.
If that was what it did, then a person who is accustomed to the properties of common household tin foil (e.g., when you crunch it into a ball, it stays in a ball), upon seeing metalized Mylar for the first time, or even plastic film of any kind for the first time, and seeing how it unfolds itself after being crunched into a ball, that person could describe it as "retaining its original shape" or "unfolding flat" -- even if it has some wrinkles and creases.
