Narrative:

Holding at an intersection with a student instrument pilot. Flying on inbound leg in published holding pattern; in VFR conditions; not under ATC control. Student with foggles caught other aircraft close in and lower pass under our aircraft. Cfii did not see the other aircraft. Other pilot called out on unicom to our number; '...ZZZ;' and idented self as '...YYY;' (I believe) and advised we had come awful close or something similar. I responded; due to the inflection and connotation of the radio contact on 122.8 that; 'these things happen flying aircraft or airplanes.' no more said or done.
