My own speculation is that the gravitational anomaly of the "polo magnético" is related to our own "anomalous" neurological configuration, more specifically, to our own primitive brain processes that produce visual perceptions. The study of human perception and consciousness is still in its infancy, and most scientists until know have avoided it like ancient mariners avoided the Sargasso sea...

The hat is sacred Mirador
I picked it up a few years ago on my wanderings in the island of Antigua and is always ready to travel anywhere and everywhere.
I definitely gather from your post what most signs point to...an optical illusion. But is is funny what conclusions one can arrive at with a fertile mind. In june when we return we will make another video of the polo but this one will be a comedy...still working on some ideas....
I don't know if you caught it but we used two different places to shoot the scenes which are about a quarter of a mile from each other. The third I have yet to find.
Take care and if you are in Barahona in june maybe we can meet and chat a while. We'll be staying at the hotel in front of Cafe Melo...
