If it was flying at night, all you'd see are two glowing objects side by side, moving across the sky at an incredible rate of speed. Remember, with full afterburners, it flew from LA to NY in, what, 1.5 hrs? Do the math and you'll find that it was exceeding, I think, Mach 7.
My take on UFOs is that it's just bleeding edge government technology being tested. The F-23 (JSF) and the SR-71 fall into that category.

My thoughts exactly.
And I think if we ever face somthing alien it will probably be some sort of probe and not a spacecraft with the actual aliens in it.
I do believe somewhere in the universe there is other life/intelligence but I'm not sure it will be similar to life on Earth or like anything we can imagine.
