Daytime up close ground sighting

I had just left my parents house heading to school I was on a gravel road only maybe a mile from my parents house, when I looked up in front of me between the guardrails of the bridge ahead was a small saucer. It hovered maybe two or three feet off the ground and it completely fit between the metal guardrails of the bridge. The bottom and top were flat and they sloped into a saucer shape like 2 tea saucers put together. The very classic saucer shape you think of. It was gunmetal black in color, it did not reflect any light whatsoever even though the sun was out. I also noted there was absolutely no riveting it appear as a completely solid looking piece of metal. Nowhere did I see a place of entry or window. I slowed my car to a stop and immediately proceeded to back up into a driveway that I recently just passed. Once I had turned around and started going the other direction I began having anxiety that it was following me so I decided to look in my rearview mirror as I did, I noticed the craft had lifted it up and had hovered above one of the guardrails so now it was only half visable because trees were covering the ditch side of the bridge. The next thing I remember is walking out of my dark bedroom and calling my mother who worked at my high school and telling her I had seen a UFO. She proceeded to yell at me for being late and told me to get to school. I honestly don't remember weaver looking at the time, driving to school,going to school that day, or telling anyone about the incident other than my mom. I never talked about it much after that. I have only recently talked about this incident. Only my closest couple friends and my parents know. It was not only till recently someone asked me if I lost any time. I for whatever reason had never even considered asking myself that question but after this person brought it up I have realized I do not have any memory from the time I looked back into my rear view mirror until the time I was calling my mother on the telephone I have a very brief recollection of opening my eyes in my dark bedroom and walking out to call my mother. Things to note: I was a senior in 1997, This happened a little before 8am on a school morning on a gravel road with a small cow pasture on one side and corn or bean field on the other. I do remember the sun being out. I did not hear the object make any noise when it raised above the guardrail. It may be notable that I live approximately 40miles south of Grissom Air Force Base.
