I don't see this as much of gold mine, or even surprise.  It is  
probably just the slingshot effect, transfer of a planet's momentum  
to a low mass passerby, as applied by a gravimagnetic Lorentz force.

Too bad "a path mostly symmetrical with respect to the equator" is  
not more specifically defined. There is no reference to any article  
describing this, as far as I can see.  I didn't see anything about it  
on the Near site:
