Was it clear? Or totally socked in clouds all the way down to the ground? <br />

If the former, no idea. If the latter, perhaps failure of the "artificial horizon"? With the rudder straight, if the left wing is up, the plane spirals right, if the right wing up, spirals left, or of course, could be going straight ahead.. And no, you cannot feel that you are tipped left or right because the acceleration going around the circle exactly compensates for the tipping. Guessing wrong makes things much worse, so all the pilot can hope is to come out of the cloud before hitting the ground. Used to cause lots of crashes in the early days before the artificial horizon was invented (shows whether tipped left or right or level). <br />

Even birds can't fly blind. Caught in this situation they would tip their wings up into a high dihedral position becoming self correcting from spiral instability. That's why free flight model airplanes have ever so much more dihedral than real planes, they have to be self correcting.
