We could see human forms in a window like windshield on this air craft that silently hovered!

Coming around a country corner that lined around a field my brother and I saw this disk shaped silver air craft that hovered with no sound. A window, if you will, dome to a flatter verses round shape, seemed to be the front top 1/2 to a 1/4 of craft. It appeared that two human forms where in this window with like a panel in front of them, like a desk or control board? I say human forms because they seem to have a round shape for a head, shoulders with arms, a body-trunk. I could not see faces, clothing, skin, nor hair. Just the shape of a human form, two I believe, in this window area of the craft. This craft was that close! Just above the tree tops. I'm not sure if it was adrenalin from fear but my lips rolled on my teeth! Not a drop of saliva was in my mouth. I slowed for only moments, I'm sure, and drove away very fast with my heart pounding! My brother and I never uttered a word at the time. I was 17 years old he was 12 years old. I lived on my own in a cabin on the Chocolay River that feeds into Lake Superior not far down stream. This was very close to KI Sawyer Air Force Base, which was active at this time. I called the air base and reported the sighting. I'm not sure with whom I spoke but I was told there was nothing on the radar, as if they'd tell me if there was, and that if it was just above the tree tops they wouldn't see it on radar. Still so frightened my little brother slept with me that night, one bedroom cabin but he could of slept on the couch. I had lace curtains on the two pain (one on top of the other) slide up windows. Close to the ground, if you where outside the bottom of the window would be at waist level. I had no way to totally close the outside form inside. This craft, I swear, hovered over my cabin about two miles from the incident not long after I had arrived home and called the Air Force Base with report. My little brother and I just clung to one another with fear, light from this craft shown through the windows of the bedroom. Now I wa! s use to B-52 flying over constantly and never had this happen before or after this incident. From that day on until about 4 years ago, I've moved out of the area, i.e. state, I had dreams, which is nightmares of UFO’s in the sky there down by the Chocolay River and by my home on Silver Creek Road, all in close proximity of incident. My brother and I didn't and don't speak of this incident. I'm now 42 years old and he's 37. We both have families of our own now and have not experienced some thing like this since. Of course as time has gone on I'm sure he has as well as my self, talked ourselves into believing it didn't happen. Yeah know what? Some thing did happen and we couldn't explain it and still can't. So for what it's worth this is my UFO story. Every one doesn't have one, I do.
