As the incident unfolded, experts began to weigh in on the psychological effects of flying. The phenomenon of seeing a fake person or experiencing altered perceptions can be attributed to several factors:
- Altitude Effects: At high altitudes, the reduced oxygen levels can lead to cognitive changes, causing passengers to experience altered states of awareness.
- Travel Anxiety: The stress of flying can heighten one’s senses, making them more aware of their surroundings, potentially leading to misinterpretations.
- Fatigue: Long flights can lead to exhaustion, which may contribute to hallucinations or distorted perceptions.
