Both yes and no. I asked him about this specifically in an email and he replied:

I think it's actually banking the view to match the forward horizon. The bank angle seems to match the change in motion of the plane and the parallax motion.
It's hard to say what it shoudl be doing without more reference footage, but this is...

As far as I know, we're quite sure that it never made it past the proposal stage. Maybe he means that some of the people on AAWSAP were party to the proposal.
Elizondo explains AATIP vs AAWSAP:
Joe, I completely sympathize with those who are confused. In fact, there is definitely some blurring of the lines and grey areas. Let me see if this helps.
1. AAWSAP was the original contract vehicle that...

How I found it. First, I manually created a new panorama, rotating each frame so that at least 2-3 turbines were lined up in each frame, and then marked the base with a red dot, and rotated everything so the turbines were mostly vertical.
This...
We have the handwritten note released by the MoD, and it doesn't mention whether the craft made any noise or not. Then we have Nick Pope. On page 176 of Open Skies, Closed Minds, he claims that the witness heard a "low humming sound." Then...

It's to give the pilot visual feedback. The MQ-9 is a fixed wing aircraft, so knowing what the bank angle is is part of flying. This would apply more when looking forward. I wonder if it's selectable.

If the camera is behind a window or transparent dome, we don't know if the compartment it's in would be deliberately pressurized (or depressurized).
I don't know about these things, but I can't think of an obvious reason why it would be...
