although i couldn’t really tell how high it was without reference to its actual size; seeing as it was bellow the clouds it looked to be about the height that i see single prop planes usually fly at, as for speed it was much slower than a single prop, id say about a 4th of the speed, maybe even less. After struggling to find and focus in on the craft on my iPhone screen I managed to capture the video above, after stopping recording I watched it move out of sight as it passed over my building and I went back to work.

Interesting. Well done capturing it with an iphone, that’s not easy.
Looking at it, when it’s in focus the wings look much thinner than a usual hang-glider. Regular gliders have thin wings like that but they’re straight not swept. If you can find a regular glider with swept wings then that’s the culprit most likely. Alternatively it could perhaps be a hang glider with transparent wings sections. Or even an experimental aircraft from a university or military base.
It doesn’t have any of the 5 UAP observables so I don’t see any compelling reason to think it might be a UAP.

Description of sighting: spotted outside my office window, at first thought it might be a [hang glider](https://static.sciencelearn.org.nz/images/images/000/000/301/embed/FLT_LKC_ART_04_Hanggliders_HandGlider.jpg?1674164065), but with how slim and long the wings were that didn’t seem right, nor a [regular glider](https://t2.gstatic.com/licensed-image?q=tbn:ANd9GcRvNkXOMRBxYneTxnBHAPD1fF59VjiqSPdTn3OumKAOGzsSeR3_r93SbXrhB7OZD9z8) as it had no body and was seemingly all wing. It was dead silent as it moved across the sky.
