stbound on I80 just starting up pequop pass when a small cluster of stars caught my eye. one above the other and below to the east another as i was looking at them the bottom one {the one to the east} dimmed out to black. I thought that was strange and continued up the pass about two minutes after I looked up at them again and the light streaked up at about a 2oclock position and lit up as it streaked upwards..It looked like a shooting star but going upwards..I thought it was strange because it dimmed out before it lit up and took off... thank you for your importaint work...
