Chevron-shaped craft spotted passing over California interstate

While driving south bound on CA I-5 my wife spotted a chevron-shaped aircraft slowly passing overhead. The craft resembled a B-2, but it emitted absolutely no sound, not even the low sound of a landing stealth airplane or jet. The aircraft was not flying parallel to the earth, but at a 45 degree angle or steeper, and its trajectory was parallel to the earth. The sighting occurred between the Sea World exit and the I-8 exit on I-5 at 1730 PST or GMT-8. I turned in the passenger seat to see if I could catch a glimpse of it through the back window of the car. I could see the aircraft silhouetted against the sky for several seconds before the aircraft vanished in an instant. There were other commercial aircraft in the vicinity due to the proximity to the SD international airport, but the chevron was definitely not commercial. There are also several military installations in the area, but these are home to only C-130, F-18, CH-46, and CH-53E squadrons.
