Provenance of the photo?

Taken from where?

Exact time? (should be in the EXIF).

Exact time was 1:24 PM PST. Photo taken from southeast of Golden Gate Bridge (Presidio) and Northeast of Golden Gate Park facing due South.

Someone I know took the photo and was curious.

Looks like parallel approaches. That’s not a fighter.

Parallel approaches happen all the time at SFO

visibility3miles 12th Nov 2023 01:31
Correction - photo was taken facing due North, so near Golden Gate Bridge or North.

UAL3827 looks like a photo sortie with a brand new A321. Multiple passes over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Small Embraer it seems not a fighter

United's first A321neo, delivered last month.

that’s correct. Was in sfo to do etops proving to Hawaii. New to the fleet, so marketing got their hands on it.

First I saw an F35, due to the suggestion from the OP that it was a fighter! My eye said it was an Embraer bizjet, but damnit it was a fighter..... ;-) Those smartphone cameras are wonderful in so many ways, but when on extended zoom, the software aliases what it thinks is the shape of the object and misidentification can be pretty easy.
