I note that F35s don't seem particularly 'stealthy' when they fly by!

A friend we met for coffee yesterday morning said that she had seen what
she estimated as a flock of 100+ YTBCs while she was riding along the
bikepath paralleling the Molonglo between Scrivener Dam and Weston. She
showed us a video she had shot with her phone which substantiated the
numbers.

Then, while we were sitting outside at Coolamon Court having coffee
around 11am, there was a flypast of a couple each of FA18 and F35 jets,
and this disturbed what was presumably the same flock, which seemed to
have been feeding in the nearby conifers, and they all came flying past
in the direction of Hindmarsh Drive.
