Described in the Basement Office Ep. 04“I saw a triangular UFO in 2003… It happened at night.”

Location: Provo, Utah, U.S.
I don’t think he’s given the exact date or time or the estimated size of the object.
He shows a photo of his position.
It’s here: 40.26411752888172, -111.6611976002238
And an illustration of what he saw.
It shows what looks like a swept wing aircraft with blue lights along the underside of it’s wing/s.
He said it was silent and slow moving, crossing the frame in 9 seconds.
Was it a glider launched from a nearby airport?
30km to the North East of his position is Heber Valley Airport.It includes a WW2 aviation museum. They host airshows. Looking over historical satellite images on Google Earth. They also appear to have some gliders at times.
Google Earth map shows GS position and a 15 mile radius from the airport. (An acceptable radius for a glider to travel from base?) The green line is to show the topology from his position to the airport.
Questions
- In UT, in 2003 would a low flying glider need an altitude-reporting transponder? Could an untraceable flight occur close to a populated area?
Source: own photo taken at the Science Museum, London, UK.
- Why was the craft flying at night with lights along the underside of the wing?
Some similar human-made things.

Solar Impulse at night.
