Every illusion is strange. For me, even more strange thing is how possibly pilot might have ignored ADI indication. I think we need one more factor to explain this (if it turns out actually truth)
And, referring to flight path you've posted, to get a better review you need to add pitch angle (and speed) change to the image.
