Lights flying around in figure of 8 formations

I drive the ferry from North Island New Zealand to South Island. Every morning, we sail towards Wellington from the West. On the night shift, around 0400-0500, as we sail past Karori Light 2.2NM away, you can look to the East and see this formation happening. At first, it appears to be Starlink, but the formations are random, not in a straight-line and are much quicker than Starlink. The lights dive behind the mountains and pop back up again. We watch this almost every night shift, with multiple witnesses. It is very hard to video with a mobile phone and when the ship is rocking and rolling. I have ticked that I am a pilot. I am a second officer in charge of a 180m long ship, with 17 years experience at sea.

Witnessed a strange white light flying over Lower Hutt. Possible Chinese Rocket.

Was standing outside at 10pm on the 12/12/22 and saw a strange white light approaching from the west in what looked like a cloud.
There were no clouds that night so I watched it for about 15 min and could not identify it as anything usual. It flew off towards the South East and eventually faded out.

I took Photos of it and later read reports from around New Zealand on the weatherwatch meteor reports website that were the same as what I saw.
Therefore it wasn't local to just Wellington and could be seen around the country. This suggests it could be high in the atmosphere. There was some suggestion there that it could have been a Chinese rocket launch that apparently occurred at 9.30pm.

It could possibly be that, but I haven't seen it confirmed.
Its very unusual to see any sort of rocket like that in New Zealand.
