Lights in the sky

Several lights were seen South West of my location in Far Western NSW, they were going up and down and also seemingly chasing each other around in circles, it was roughly 2.30 am on October 21st 2023, we checked Flight Radar 24 for possible air traffic thinking these maybe night training flights although we couldn’t see any flashing anti collision lights 🤷🏼‍♂️ however the closest aircraft was landing in Melbourne 650 km to our South at the time with nothing else showing in the Australian region.

Myself and another shift operator witnessed the lights.
When I first noticed the lights I was out having a vape on the catwalk next to the control room and a large light just appeared above the mining face seemingly shining straight at me, it sort of shocked me as it felt like it had spotlighted me, I watched it rise and fall then another light appeared and they chased each other around and alternatively rose and fell in a vertical motion, I watched them for approximately 5 minutes before I thought damn I should grab my phone and attempt to get some footage, the control room operator who was in the toilet prior then re-entered the control room just as I started filming and I called him over to take a look however by this time the lights seemed to have dimmed or moved further away.
I tried to upload the video footage in 4K but it seems to have only magnified the noise, ive set my phone camera to 4K now just in case they return another nightshift.

  1. I had a very similar experience in rural Victoria,4.30 am,very dark morning,me and 2 mates were spotlighting foxes,we stopped the car,turned off our lights,when my mate said look at those bright yellow lights,there was one big dominant light and a smaller dimmer light,they started interacting with each other,then started swirling and dancing around each other!!!! 3 more smaller dimmer lights joined in,they seamed to land on a small bare hill only 300m away,then elevate up again,looked like about 150m high to us,we stood and watched them doing this for around half an hour,in total disbelief of what we were witnessing!!! They eventually dimmed and slowly faded away,I am 100% sue it wasnt kids with drones,at 4.30 in the dark morning!!! No one around for miles,spoke to the farm owner and he confirmed we were the only ones around,Im not a UFO nut,I am a sceptic,but I am absoulutley stumped!!!! My phone couldnt pick up the lights,so no video
