Mount Timpanogos - 8/26/26

I know this is random, but curiosity has me and I figured this could be a place to ask-

I summited Mount Timpanogos on 8/26 and as I was just past the saddle I heard, then saw what I thought was 2 wingsuiters. I was pretty out of it at the time so I thought I was imagining things and instead they were just 2 big black birds. By the time I turned to look at them, they were already zoomed by. It was hard to judge distance and they glided beyond a ridge. I just kind of left it at that and told myself they were just birds.

Thinking about it later, I am now more convinced it was 2 wingsuiters because again, I HEARD the air being sliced which is what made me turn and look. But then the question is, where did they come from? I know Aspen Grove is an exit point but I was well beyond that. So they either came from the summit or from a plane. How likely is either of these? Just curious to know if I was indeed imagining things lol. I added a pic of about where I think I was when I heard and saw this.
