Driving on highway in a wooded area and saw a chrome like sphere object hovering in one spot quietly.

It was a sunny day with mostly clear sky's. Barely any clouds were around. I was driving my car on the highway from Litchfield to Plymouth and glanced up at the sky for a moment and then saw a chrome like sphere hovering about 20-30 miles in the air. Didnt seem too far. This is the second time I've seen an object like this in the past 12 months. I was very amazed. It seemed to be unaffected by wind. At first I thought it could have been some sort of balloon however it was still and didn't move at all. The chrome color was so prevalent that the suns glare was very bright against one side of it. I went back to looking at the road wondering if I could take my phone out to photograph it, but by the time I looked back up (10 seconds or so) it just vanished. No trail in the sky, no sound. After that I saw some birds flying in the sky opposite of its direction. Not sure if they felt or saw that thing but figured I should note it. At the time when I saw it. There were no birds in the sky at all. I was driving so I could have passed by the sighting location a mile through. Very peculiar sighting and was upset I couldn't take a picture of it.
