The Min Min Lights are one of Australia's most mysterious and eerie phenomena, often reported in the vast and remote areas of the Outback, particularly near the town of Boulia in Queensland. These glowing lights are described as orbs or faint, floating glows that move across the landscape. Witnesses have claimed that the lights seem to follow them, but they always remain at a distance, never getting closer. Many believe the lights are supernatural, connected to Aboriginal stories of spirits and ancestral beings. Others suggest more scientific explanations, such as mirages, bioluminescent insects, or atmospheric phenomena like the reflection of car headlights in the distance.

Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the mystery of the Min Min Lights, examining the strange sightings and scientific theories that continue to fuel one of Australia’s greatest unexplained phenomena.
