Floating sphere(s) seen out airline window

On commercial Delta flight 2071 from MSN to ATL cruising speed over ATL I was looking out the window at city below. Off in the short distance was a floating sphere. It was metallic, round and some nodes/small antennas. As we were flying and getting ready to bank in the plane it just stayed motionless in the sky and we passed closer to it and went by it at a slightly higher altitude. It was during daylight hours and I was confused what it was as I believe there was a second then in the distance as we circled the city. I started recording on my phone out the window in hopes I'd see it again. Too stunned or confused to record it the first time. Somehow no one else saw it nor spoke of it on plane. Never saw it again so unfortunately didn't record it. Still confused!!
