Human Factors
While we were receiving flight following from Approach we spotted what we believed was a fixed wing UAS heading northbound at 5;300 feet. We spotted a shiny object in front of us which did not make any evasive actions to avoid us. We initiated a climbing right turn to avoid the object. The suspected UAS seemed to be a tailless; fixed wing aircraft with a wingspan of roughly five feet wide. The aircraft was X color; and we did not see any visible engines; or rotors. We contacted Approach and reported the incident as soon as possible roughly 15 to 20 seconds after the event. We queried Approach to confirm if there was any other traffic in the area. They told us that there was no other traffic. They asked us to describe the event in detail which we complied.  Approach said they would pass along the information; and we then continued.
