Belleville, WI

A couple left my friends house at around 2 in the morning, and I was driving up on a highway, past my old intermediate school. Take in mind my friend's house is only a 5 minute drive from the school. I saw a light in the sky that seemed brighter than the rest, and it kept getting brighter and bigger. I was gonna take my phone out to record but as soon as i was getting it out of my back pack, my car started shaking and a loud humming noise started to come from outside. I dropped my phone and the light was practically taking up the view from my windshield and i couldn't see anything so i stopped my car. For a good 15 seconds my car was almost vibrating and the loud humming noise intensified. I reached down to get my phone to record but when i looked up the humming stopped and the light was gone. My car was farther up the street than where i originally thought i stopped my car when the light appeared, which left me confused but i assumed i might've let my foot off the brake and moved forward a bit, but my car couldn't have gone that far as slow as i was going, especially up hill. At this time i was really confused as to what happened, i thought maybe a plane or trucker came too close to me and just shook my car. But it lasted almost 20 seconds. I also noticed it was almost 2:15. and i swear i left my friend's at 2 am, so i don't know how 10 minutes passed that fast or what even happened.
