Disk hovering over field

While eating breakfast I looked out the kitchen window and saw the object hovering over an open field. I watched the object off and on for apporximately 20 minutes before gettting on a bus to go to school. My bus passed by the object twice and the object remained stationary hovering. On return from school, I looked for the object but it was gone. Although my entire family was in the kitchen during the my initial observation, for some reason I did not mention it to anyone. Also, while on the bus I watched the object while it was in view for about 10 minutes and didn't tell anyone on the bus. I find this really unusual that I didn't say anything.

Description: The disk was about 100ft. diameter and approximately 30ft. in height. I base this on comparison to the 150ft. High tension power lines which it was hovering a couple hundred feet away from. It was approximately 100ft. off of the ground. It was highly reflective matallic with a very slight gold tint to it. There were no windows, lights or protrusions. It was absolutely stationary with no movement hovering over an already harvested corn field. At the closest distance, I was approximately 300 yards away. Nothing else out of the ordinary was observable in the area. I approximate the location as Lat-42.84 Long-88.12 from checking terraserver.
