Or they're just planes and helicopters that are normally seen in the night sky?
It's not like the NY/NJ air corridor is the busiest in the world, or
anything...
Correct, it isn't. Sort of in the bottom half of the top 10 but that's about it.

You may be right, but that's not what that link shows.
That link shows the business routes; that is, connections
between two places. The NYC/EWR/PHL/BOS/DC corridor,
however, serves _many_ routes, and in a relatively small
area. To find which general area has the busiest air
space, you'd have to compare the sum of all routes going
into a given airport.
That is, the ORD<->ATL route may be busier than ORD<->LGA,
and O'Hare and Atlanta are huge, very busy airports; but
probably neither is busier than JFK/LGA/EWR combined.
