Object paces commercial jetliner then leaves at great speed

I was just starting work when I looked up at the sky.It was a bright clear day.No coud cover and unlimited visability.I was looking at a commmercial jetliner in flight headed east toward Dayton OH.It`s position was west of my location.The plane was clearly visable including the wingtips and tail.There wasa a sphere that paced the plane.First on one side and then moving around the back and the to the other side.The object stayed far enough away as to clearly see the air space between it and the plane.It never was further forward of the plane than the tips of the wings.The object appeared to be no bigger than the diameter of the planes fusilage.I watched it for several minutes while it hovered around the plane.It took off at great speed to the west.It took no more then a few seconds to be over the horizon and gone from sight.Wright Patterson AFB is a 45 minute drive from here.
