I just assumed they were B-2 bombers, but a pair that looked a LOT like that photo (no stepped angular tails), flew in formation over the Sacramento Valley just a month ago. I only noticed them because of their contrail. I also observed they were flying kinda slow but it's hard to judge not knowing their actual altitude and size.
