Narrative:
While climbing out; I saw what appeared to be a small (less than 5 ft in size; may have been round) unlit unknown airborne object in flight path from the corner of my eye at the last second. Unfortunately; I am unable to describe the object better. While avoiding the object; my aircraft may have inadvertently climbed into class C airspace prior to establishing 2 way radio communication.
