the object was circular and was following my airplane.

First off understand Iam not a crack pot! Iam writing this because Iam not sure what to do here. I was flying back via Blyth to eagle airfield in my cherokee, the enging started to make a rough sound and that got my attention, when I looked to the right at my oil temp and fuel guages I caught a glimps of a dull looking object out the right window. I looked down at my gps and noticed I needed to steer right to get back on course. After turning right a couple of degrees I saw this dull grey object on my right again, I turned further to the right and this object turned with me. I could see it was circular and a dull grey color and it looked like it was rotating. I did not see any lights on it. The object was about a block away from my plane, I continued to make a right turn to get a better look at it, as I turned furthur it decended out of sight. At this point I got back on course and notice I had lost about 1500 feet, so I climbed back up to 8500 feet after getting back at 8500 feet I had to correct course again, I had to turn left a little, I looked out the right window to see if I could see this thing again and it was gone. I looked out my side on the left and noticed the circular thing was on the ground, I made a left turn and decended down to 2000 feet when I got closer I could tell it was sitting on the ground, I wanted to see what exactly was this thing. I climed back up to about 7500 feet and proceeded back on course to eagle. I have not said nothing about this to anyone..
