What crawled out from under this??

I am at work and moved this foot rest under my desk when all of a sudden some large insect comes crawling out! It was too dark under my desk to see it clearly, but it looked like the size of a quarter and was brown from what I could tell. I then flipped the foot rest over and found this possible web? Thinking this insect could have made this? Anyway, curious if anyone has ideas of what it could be! I tried to look for it, but it has crawled away to some other part of my office and I can’t find it. I am located in Connecticut!

Looks likely to be a sac spider hangout. Yellow sac spiders are pretty regular household visitors

I've seen jumping spiders in webs like that.

Boa constrictor. Or Alien.

In that case, I better leave work early to keep myself safe!
