The outage, which caused pandemonium for some flights after Microsoft issued an update for its anti-virus software, led to a “small number” of cancellations among RyanAir’s fleet, along with other airlines.
Award winning film-maker Mark Christopher Lee mused that there could be a link between the outage and a strange orb he saw floating over his home in St Albans on the same day.
“It’s bizarre isn’t it,” he said. “Weird.”
Lee says there could be “Some sort of higher intelligence that’s doing this, I don’t know, possibly. I’ve alluded to it in my new film The Cosmic Joker which is streaming now on Tubi.
“It also ties in possibly that all of life is a simulation, some sort of game and aliens are controlling it. It’s a possibility.
“What happened today could be part of a sign that there’s something that’s controlling us”.
Discussing what he saw over his home in St Albans, close to Luton Airport, Mark said: “It was definitely weird – at first I thought it was an aircraft, but it wasn’t, there was light reflecting off it. There are planes nearby, we get a lot of planes because we live near Luton Airport.
“It wasn’t moving, planes come towards you or go away, it was just kind of swaying side to side a little bit. It wasn’t a balloon, there was a bit of a breeze so it would have had more movement. It seemed to be blipping in and out.
“Bear in mind it was a beautiful blue sky and no clouds in the sky. Where was it blipping to? It kept coming back it was very weird.
“It’s definitely unexplained. It was too low for a satellite. I’m quite rational so I try and rule things out but I was left speechless. The fact that it was in the daytime as well.”
