Narrative:
Here are the details of a local flight I experienced from ssi. I am an instrument rated pilot. Yesterday I went up for a short flight and noticed an airplane on ads-B traffic that appeared to be in the pattern at bqk. One thing that caught my eye beside being in the pattern was the aircraft was showing 'VFR' and not the tail number. As I headed west toward the race track I kept an eye on the traffic through ads-B. When returning I noticed the traffic was still in the bqk area so I screen captured it so I could figure out why I was seeing VFR and not a tail number.I began announcing on ssi CTAF being 10 miles out. Descending I announce again at 6 miles out. Now we're at the same altitude on a collision course. I announced again on ssi CTAF but did not get any response. I was trying to spot the aircraft. However it was heading toward me at the same altitude so the sight picture was small. I was unable to spot the aircraft so I pulled up to gain altitude. As I pulled up I saw aircraft Y pass approximately 100 ft. In front of me and slightly below. Aircraft Y did not take any visible action that I saw. We both were definitely within the class east airspace of ssi.
