Narrative:
I was doing stop and go's in the pattern at ork for night currency. We departed ork and upon climbing on departure our adsb gave an alert for traffic. We noted a fast moving aircraft from our rear; stopped our climb at 300 feet AGL and watched a B757 pass right over us as we crossed the departure end of runway 5 at ork. Adsb indicated the B757 aircraft was 700 feet above us; placing them in the traffic pattern for ork. The B757 then turned towards lit as if on a visual approach. This felt very unsafe as we felt wake turbulence when we continued our climb out towards the track of the B757. I was startled a B757 would be so low and at traffic pattern altitude over a non-towered airport.
