I saw 3 or 4 lights above Mt Karioi, they would rise slowly illuminate and shine more before dissapearing. Sometimes together.

I was actually on a late phone call to my mum when I saw the lights travelling along and upwards from the mountain. They would start travelling sometimes together and sometimes alone, a dim light at first that would then get brighter than any stars surrounding, shining and travelling through the sky and then after a few short seconds they would dissapear. After a minute or so lull. They kept reappearing, this happened for close to an hour. My camera battery was dead and my phone is no good so sadly I couldn’t capture it, but it sure wasn’t moving like a satellite or a plane. I called a friend who was still awake to confirm the abnormal nature of the lights and I felt best to report it. It started above the mountain sometimes the light was alone sometime with 2 or 3 going in a different pattern / direction. It faded to the left of the mountain and then out of view after midnight
