Service or tool for finding commercial flight positions at an exact date + timestamp?

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if someone can refer me to a website or tool where I can plug in an exact date time, then see where all of the USA commercial air traffic was at that time? I was flying from Austin TX to LAX yesterday and saw something odd that looked like a commercial aircraft but I wasn't able to make out any tail, wings, contrail, markings, etc. The object appeared to be a dark grey and reflective metal tube / cylinder. It was moving from west to east at a constant speed and I saw it for 5 - 7 seconds before I lost it behind the wing of our plane. I didn't get a photo of it since I was intent on watching it and looking for markings as it went by.

I know my flight number, the time I spotted the object out the window (within 1 - 3mins), what way I was looking, etc. I just need a tool where I can plug in that info and be able to see where the other flights were around me at the time. Does this exist? Would it show military and private flights too?

Here are the details if someone already has access to something that could pull up the results:

Flight: AA 533 - from AUS (Austin TX) to LAX (Los Angeles)

Date / time: around 2:15pm - 2:18pm PT on June 21st 2022

Sighting direction: looking North out of the right side of the plane

Thanks!
