Dark grey/ grey/ white Sphere in the sky

Sphere hovered in place at an altitude of maybe 500-1000ft before it rose swiftly and also moved east in direction. A single engine plane flew by somewhat at the same altitude and I lost track of it briefly to find it in the sky again at a much higher altitude and very far away to our south east. The object was spherical and through binoculars I could see a seam that wrapped around it. It also seemed to change colors from grey to white but not like a shadow.
