Min Min light
Min Min is an unusual light phenomenon that has often been reported in outback Australia.〔
The name "Min Min" derives from the small settlement of Min Min, located between the outback towns of Boulia and Winton, where the light was observed by a stockman in 1918.
Stories about the lights can be found in Aboriginal myths pre-dating European settlement and have since become part of wider Australian folklore.〔 Indigenous Australians hold that the number of sightings has increased alongside the increasing ingression of Europeans into the outback.〔 According to folklore, the lights sometimes follow or approached people and have disappeared, sometimes very rapidly, when fired upon, only to reappear later on.〔〔 The first recorded sighting dates to 1838, in the book ''Six Months in South Australia''.
==Distribution==
Reports of the phenomena are widespread throughout Australia. The lights have been reported from as far south as Brewarrina in western New South Wales, to as far north as Boulia in northern Queensland. The majority of sightings are reported to have occurred in Channel Country.〔 Another district where Min Min lights are often reported is Yunta, South Australia, which is centered within a low lying basin known for recording extreme cold.
