UFO came toward us at great speed and disappeared. We were flying a Cessna 152

I am a private pilot and an attorney in Allentown, PA. I took my dad for a nice evening flight from Allentown queen city airport to Pottstown airport and back. We were flying in a two-seat single engine Cessna 152 with tail number N93434. My dad is also a private pilot, a veteran captain of the US Air Force and also a doctor. I was in the left seat and dad was in the right. We had just taken off from Pottstown and were on our way flying North back to Allentown. We had climed to 2500 ft and were about 30 nautical miles from queen city airport. My dad was flying the aircraft. He noticed and pointed out to me a dark silvery object in the distance around our 10 o'clock position which we both agreed was probably a jet on approach to runway 6 at the larger Lehigh Valley International Airport. All the sudden the object began closing its distance towards us. I contacted Air traffic Control Allentown Approach on frequency 119.65. The controller said he had a positive radar contact consistent with our visual sighting around 10 NM from our position and it was not talking to ATC on frequency. It was then even closer, and I called ATC back and asked if the traffic was anything for us to be concerned about. ATC then became very strange and said they had the radar contact approaching us and then just said stand by. At this point the UFO then came directly toward us at high speed and was feet outside of our window just off the left wing. It was a dark silvery disk like object with no wings, tail, lights or any type of visible propulsion. At this point I thought it was going to collide with us and I took controls of the plane and put us into a spiral dive away from the UFO. We then did a full 360 turn and were both looking for the UFO. It had then completely disappeared. We circled again but saw nothing. I contacted ATC again and all they said was that radar contact with the object had been lost and we were cleared to return on course back to Allentown. We were terrified and shaken but resumed our flight, landed safely, and kept the event to ourselves.
