Classified F-22A Raptor Kill Record

Why do I have a feeling that what the US Air Force says the F-22 has shot down a balloon and that's it but what if they're lying about the F-22's actual kill record I have a huge feeling its been used in air combat including getting air-to-air kills we know its been used for ground strike attacks and has gotten ground kills, obviously with the GBU-58's and its gun i'm not suprised. I've once seen at high altitude and with a camera good enough to see to what looked about 35k feet I saw what appeared to be 2 fighter jets a Russian Su-27 Flanker and a US F-22 Raptor which it appeared to open its missile bay and shoot of a Aim-9L Sidewinder and the Russian jet did get hit in fact it burst into a fireball going down and hitting the ground about 30 seconds later. any opinions?
