If we're asking silly questions, what happens if a shot has been played and is heading over the boundary for a six, but is intercepted by a Golden Eagle flying overhead. The batsmen are both astounded by this, and are transfixed as the said Golden Eagle then releases the ball which falls directly onto the striker's wicket, breaking it with the striker out of his ground. would he be out bowled or run out or am I just having a laugh at the expense of umpires who decide they need not attend courses when there have been so many law changes to be discussed, then ask questions which will doubtless have been discussed at great length.

This is still a boundary six.
The ball was touched by a spectator who was himself/herself in contact with the ground outside the boundary! Failing that, the spectator was in contact with something else, which was itself in contact with the ground outside the boundary.
If the spectator was airborne at the time of the contact, we must use our common sense; would we have allowed the fielder to complete a catch under these circumstances? - I suspect not!
