Narrative:

Arriving in the deland (ded) airspace; a radio call was made 5 miles out and entering the upwind leg for a left pattern for runway 5. A downwind leg call was then made. 3 aircraft are in the pattern and can be heard over the radio and seen by both pilot (I) and passenger. One aircraft was departing to enter the pattern behind us. One aircraft was in front of us by about 1 mile. These 2 aircraft were making appropriate radio calls as was I for every leg of the traffic pattern (downwind; base; final). On short final at approximately 100 feet directly over the airport fence; a cessna appeared approximately 10 feet below us. An immediate go around was executed. After reentering the pattern; we landed with no further incident. The cessna had made no radio calls and was not visible to anybody else in the traffic pattern upon further questioning. Later questioning also determined the cessna was a training flight that had just departed ormond beach (omn). The lack of lighting and lack of radio usage by a student and flight instructor caused a near collision. Usage of a radio is a crucial component to safety at uncontrolled airports.
