Very close day sighting

My Dad and I were on the way back from my Grandpa and Grandma's house on a Sunday...I am not sure what the date was but it was a little more than a month later than my previous sighting. Anyways, we were on our way back home coming down Main ST which turns into Hwy 107. We were on our way down the hill in town in the 25MPH zone. We were approaching the bridge which turned into a 35mph zone. My Dad was driving and I just happened to look up through the moon roof(slightly tinted) and saw a silver, round shaped craft above the vehicle. It wasn't hude or anything but it was hard to tell how big it was since I couldn't tell how high it was away. But by the looks of it and amount of detail, it was very very close...I thought a few hundred feet tops.

I had to make absolutely sure it wasn't a relfection or something off a pop can in the car or something so I opened the moon roof completely and there it was....in plain sight. I quickly looked at my Dad and told him to look above the truck. He had a big smile on his face when he saw it, but he focused more on keeping the vehicle on the road. I watched this craft float side to side and doin small curved motions from the right side of the vehicle to the left...then back a ways...then zip forward. From underneith the craft I saw what looked like segmented plates, piled on top of each other. It zipped around above our car from Main ST to Hwy U which I think is like 4-5 miles...maybe more. But anyways, this craft followed us right outta town into the 35mph zone....around a big curve where this road basically turns back into a highway and then around another curve into a 45mph zone, and around another curve into a 55mph zone. I couldn't see any markings or anything..but I could see the segments very clearly...and the very bottom segment looked more like a thimble than a smaller plate. As we turned on Hwy U towards home, I whipped around in my seat and looked out the back window only to see this craft flying about 80-90 feet above the ground, altering its course about 45 degrees to the left(West). This is when I could say that, if this craft didn't change altitude, then it was about 20-22ft in diameter max, and about 12-15ft in height in the center max. The craft made absolutely no noise. I am very very curious to know how many other people saw the craft above our vehicle that day, as there were other vehicles on the road that day. It was still pretty much completely light out at the time this event took place. I am sending a mspaint picture I whipped up of what I saw through the moon roof the entire time.

Also, the roof was completely open just as a reminder, so it wasn't a reflection.
