How does antigravity point work? In Salalah (Oman) our car rolled uphill on this point. Any scientific explanations?

Did your car roll uphill from stationary and with the engine off? Had your car already got forward momentum to carry it uphill?
There's the same effect at Electric Brae near Ayr (if I remember the location correctly). Of course, the car is actually rolling downhill: the rock strata of the cutting create an optical illusion.
It's an optical illusion and there are a number around the world. At the electric brae the road seems to go down the side of a hill when it actually goes up. It is south of Ayr pinus, just north of Girvan Pouring water on the ground shows the truth
I meant to say also that I have photos from both ends and the illusion doesn't show at all, ie the road looks normal

The idea of pouring water occured to me much later, at that time we were too excited to think rationally. but we did a video shooting, and if it is an optical illusion, its a damn good one, because it looks really rolling uphill, with an gradient of 10'or so
