I observed a black orb kind of floating around in the sky like a big balloon

I was talking north on power line road on my way from coburg to junction. A commercial airplane I'm the normal flight path toward Eugene airport caught the corner of the my vision. I looked toward it and seen something round and dark colored kinda floating around in between the plane and me. It appeared to be around a mile or so away from me and if that's the case it'd be larger that a sedan. I looked back on road them back at it. I realized I was wandering out of my lane so I looked shared again. At the point I was really wondering what that was. As looked back toward the craft again it was gone. That's when I realized May be something.
