Problem Statement

Let ACAC be a fixed chord of a circle ω\omega with center OO. Point BB moves along the arc ACAC. A fixed point PP lies on ACAC. The line passing through PP and parallel to AOAO meets BABA at point A1A_1, the line passing through PP and parallel to COCO meets BCBC at point C1C_1. Prove that the circumcenter of triangle A1BC1A_1BC_1 moves along a straight line.
