Not to put a downer on speculation but probably military jets that lit the afterburners and zoomed away. My first thought was F-111s, but since it seems they were radar quiet, maybe stealth planes.

No more F-111s in service: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvar...

I think you mean F-117 nighthawk, which was decommissioned.

'decommissioned' means different things to different people

The F-117 doesn't have afterburners. goes against the whole stealth thing
