- The plane accidentally stumbled into the path of a test of the Orbital Mind Control Lasers. The Illuminati will not be happy about a crack appearing in their security.
- Telepathic aliens periodically take over people to study our world; this time they happened to pick the pilot.
- One of the first cases of Quantum Leaping, just for a short interval and to your own body, as the quantum substructure of reality starts to unravel. This event will only become more common and severe with time.
