Well for certain we have actual proof they got to within 7 miles the day before the war ended. As a native Rhode Islander I find it fascinating that they got this close to shore, that late in the war:

Well, German U-Boats were torpedoing shipping vessels off the coast of the US during the entirety of World War 2.

How close did they come? An upgraded Focke Wulf "Condor", dubbed the "New York" bomber entered US airspace in 1944 without being detected. However, by that time, the majority of aircraft resources were being directed to the ME-262 for Defense of the Reichand there were only a few prototypes constructed.
