Any physics gurus care to explain how this could happen?

Interesting test of boomerang physics.

I’m pretty sure the effect is dependent on air pressure on various parts of the device, not gravity. Maybe someone who knows what they are talking about will help us out!

Since there is no effect of gravity the lifting effect would have to be due to precession of the object. The precession would have to be caused by aerodynamic forces.
