Up near traverse city mi, i was on a cross country with a student on an ifr flight plan, we were on with Minn Center and we never received word of any traffic, all of a sudden we pop out of a cloud and there is a C182 about 50 feet below us and very close. I could see that there was 3 people in the plane, two men and one woman. They never saw us. Scared the crap out of me.
