three seperate object, the center light was a red triangle in a light fog

March 9, 2001 Driving from Billing , toward Kalispell Mt. on I 90 heading west.It started to sput snow, and wanted to make it over "Homestead Pass" before there was to much snow. I Up ahead you could see there was going to be a turn to the right, tail lights disapearing in the distance. When I noticed a Bright white light. Looked round-dome the top half was bright, the bottom half seemed in the fog. You could see the out line of the object, in the dark . the mountains in the distance , you could make out. Thinking I was heading into a town, or another power/ type of plant. When I looked up again, there was a small white car in front of me, and a 18 wheeler type truck in the rear. When I noticed another light....this one red...all in the fog,this time, but you couldn't mistake the triangle shape, pointed up, ..So know there are the two lights and we are almost to the corner...There is a third light, white and long -10 times or bigger in size, to the other two lights....well the little car, pulls over to the side of the road,abruptly... with there emergency flashers going... me I look in my mirror, see where the truck is, Try to look in the car as I drive by, but it is too dark. Should have stopped,by now I am around the corner, no town nothing to give off the lights. To compact in size to be the aurora borealis. stumped. I happened to be back in town (Bozeman )on saturday..talked to some friends which said..Belgrade Mt. which is maybe 9 miles from Bozeman lost power Friday ... Just coencidence ??? I never heard any noise, did't notice any wind, smell.
