Why my home point hangs in the air?

Today a short test of RTH on the top of the building.

Downloaded flight log to Airdata.
When looking at the animation, home point hangs in the air.
At 30.1 sec. home point distance jumps from 0 to 24.1m but mini has never been out of the bulding's borders so home point couldn't be updated there.
Distance from HP in the log data is correct when measured as distance from "false" HP.
Is there any explanation for home point being transferred 24.1 meter sideways to the point mini has never been flown.

You probably got a ghost HP due to launching with only 7 satellites. Did you hear the lady voice & did you do as she told you before launch ... "The home point is recorded, please check it on the map"?

This happened just as the HP got recorded ... you dropped one satellite.

Thanks for explanation Slup.
I was waiting for satellites but had to put mini in the air to get them.
Then took home point 2 or 3 times manually. It would be nice to see exact time and result of that actions in the txt log.
I will try to fly again on the same spot (problem with satellites frequently caused by nearby structures) and to take multiple home points and use them.
