I have seen both thawed and frozen used and it depends on the test. The fun thing is that they shoot it out of an air cannon into the intake of the jet. Lots of feathers and guts coming out of the back end... We called it "shreaded tweet"...
About the nose up pitch, I believe that the pilot may have relaxed his control on the stick when he got busy trying to re-light the engine. Then things happened very fast (remember that it was a student in the front cockpit, with an instructor in back) and it got out of control.
Flying is called "hours and hours of boredom followed by moments of sheer terror"... and its correct at times.
