Reading up a bit it looks like a joint Lincoln Labs and AFMC R&D plantform, google brings up plenty of info. Can't be tracked on Flightaware though

That means nothing, there's loads of Biz that can't be tracked
It's not really trying to hide what it is, either

Were there any F-117s about? There are photos on the web of one flying on October 5.

I stuck it here
http://aroundtherange.blogspot.com/ as I'm too simple to work out how to get the image to show in the body here.
N105TB did go off to play with what is assumed as the F-117A on 7-Oct as the latter was using the same callsign as on 5-Oct when this photo was taken. But not visually confirmed as the eastern side of the range was a bit from the viewpoint over TTR. Could see the Travis KC-10 though which was same callsign both days, different airframe.
The F-117A definitely did not depart from TTR though.
