Unexplainable bright lights dancing in the sky

Myslef and 5 friends were camping at High Knoll fort. This is on top of a hill, commanding views over the island and the surrounding Atlantic Ocean in all directions. At about 3.30 am we experiance a loss of electical power from all our battery operated equipment at the same time. As this happend we became aware of 2 bright lights on the horizon to the north. There were no ships in that direction at the time. These lights were getting bigger, which made them appear to be coming towards us. However there was no noise comming from them. They remained in the sky above us for around 10 minutes, they seemed to be "dancing" around each other. After this they just disappeared, we were watching them, but they didnt fly away, the lights just went. All of our batteries remained flat. St Helena has no airport and is not on any direct flightpath. It is also located 700 miles from the nearest island and over 1000 mile to the nearest main land.
