If you were in Lumeah, could also be a military chopper as Holsworthy base is next door, particularly if it was heading east and descending too. These also carry huge spot lights. If there was a southery wind blowing too, you wouldn't hear anything either.

Rescue choppers also carry massive nose-set spot light.


I'd say most likely a military chopper. IF it had its civilian flashing lights on, it is easy enough to miss these if the apparition catches you by surprise.
Is called the SX-16 Nitesun, well in excess of 30 million candlepower, used it often enough.
