Graduate Einstein's Elevator Trajectories: Desloge & Philpott 1987, Hamilton 1978
Wikipedia (Rindler coordinates): "we obtain a picture which looks suspiciously like the family of all semicircles through a point and orthogonal to the Rindler horizon" Thus, the trajectories of photons in the accelerated elevator seem to be circular!- Mathieu Rouaud

Graduate Einstein's Elevator Trajectories: Desloge & Philpott 1987, Hamilton 1978
Hello, Some papers describe the vertical motion of a ray of light or a non-zero mass particle in a uniformly accelerated reference frame in special relativity: Desloge, E. A., & Philpott, R. J. (1987). Uniformly accelerated reference frames in special relativity. American Journal of Physics...- Mathieu Rouaud
