min

Min Min is an unexplained light phenomenon that has often been reported in outback Australia.Stories about the lights can be found in Aboriginal myths predating European settlement and have since become part of wider Australian folklore. Indigenous Australians hold that the number of sightings has increased in conjunction with the ingression of Europeans into the outback. While it has been claimed that the first recorded sighting dates to 1838, in the book Six Months in South Australia, it is likely that the event described is a different phenomenon.The name Min Min derives from a small settlement of the same name located between the outback towns of Boulia and Winton, where the light was observed by a stockman in 1918.According to folklore, the lights sometimes follow or approach people and disappear when fired upon, sometimes very rapidly, only to reappear later on, and anyone who chases the lights and catches them will never return to tell the tale.
