Colorless orb, flying relatively low at high speed in a straight line

My daughters and I were taking a break on our bike ride and looking at two red tail hawks circling high above. The object was traveling toward us in our eye line with the birds. At first I thought it was another bird, but soon realized it was going very very fast. It is difficult to determine our distance to the object, but I could clearly see it getting closer, passing us, then continuing on toward the ocean. It seemed rather small. It made no noise and it left no contrails.

It was flying well below low hanging clouds.

The object was completely black or colorless. My daughter said it looked like a flying bowling ball.
