very fast very bright light moving in a vertical(up) direction did not dim out just went out.

I was sitting on chairs on my lawn smoking a cigarrette and i was looking at the sky. It had patches of clouds but i was focused on a clear spot in between two houses. The event was very fast. A very bright light took off in a vertical path(up)from the bottom of sky to a little bit over the houses. It was bright during the whole duration till it went out suddenly. The reason i thought this was strange because it was going faster then i have ever seen anything go in the sky and it was going straight up instead of horizontal.
