AtD: Bilocations in popular culture

[Clément Lévy]

I remember a scene in a not so recent movie where people found the  
wreck of an airplane in the middle of a desert (Mongolia?): this  
plane had been lost in the middle of the see (Atlantic?) for years  
and years...
The problem is, I don't remember anything else about this film  
(science fiction, maybe). I guess there are plenty of this sort of  
cases in TV series like X-Files usw. Is this what you meant, Kai?
Does this remind something to anybody here?
