I was wondering on scenario 2 that the ball which is caught in midair could be interpreted as a pass to oneself which is illegal (btw do you know the rule reference for that). So it is up to the referee to interpret if the loss of control of the ball was intentional or non-intentional. If it was intentional it was a pass to yourself and if it was unintentional then this is a fumble right?
See case book plays 4.15.4SitD(d) and 4.15.4SitE.

The official has to determine whether a pass or fumble has occured. Forget about "intentional" and "unintentional". We ain't mind readers.
