Military? Planes over Phoenix?

I am located in the Scottsdale/ Phoenix area of Arizona. I went over to my parents for dinner and to watch the Cardinals game. My dad and I were outside right around the beginning of the third quarter so 7ish. All of sudden there was four flashing lights flying in a diamond formation. I was looking north towards camelback mountain and they flew south from the west of camelback mountain down south and veered a little east as they disappeared to the south. I always watch the sky when I'm outside. I noticed there was no other air traffic as they flew over the valley. Once they disappeared to the south, air traffic started the normal routes about a minute or two later. I left my parents at 730 and went to my home a few blocks north. At about 8 I loud fast jet flew from the southeast and continued on a wine direction looking like it was headed towards downtown Phoenix. Was just wondering if any body else saw anything or knows what was going on? I always watch the sky and the second jet @ 8 was flying a really unusual flight path.

There are two Air Force bases, and a Marine base in that area. Training flight, that went through in a lull in commercial travel.

Hell, imagine military aircraft flying within the USA. What is that place coming to?
