What kind of camera and lens? If it’s a phone camera, image processing could be a factor and it may look very different than the picture depicts. I would guess something shiny catching light is being distorted into what is seen in the image. I think it’s likely to be a high altitude balloon.
Tracking balloons is not easy, “our weather balloons” intentionally transmit their locations. There’s a lot more stuff floating around up there, some of it intentionally designed and operated not to be tracked. It’s relatively easy and affordable to put a big balloon way up there so all kinds of people do for all kinds of reasons.

I wouldn’t expect every balloon to be on any map, especially one available for free to the general public.
