	Min Min light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Eric Shackle's eBook - Mystery Lights
		The lights, he says, are actually an inverted mirage of light sources which are, in some cases, hundreds of miles away over the horizon.
		A certain shape of temperature inversion causes light near the ground to be refracted in such a way that it travels in a curved path around the globe.
		In the light of the morning after the demonstration, Pettigrew said, there was a spectacular Fata Morgana of a distant mountain range, which supported the idea that the Min Min had been due to the specific atmospheric conditions at the time.

	Lighting: Layers
		Continuous light or short repeated cycles such as 1 hour light followed by 2 hour darkness (1L:2D) are photo-stimulatory because there is always adequate light within the photo-sensitive period regardless of the light period perceived as dawn.
		The lighting system should be designed with a slightly higher light intensity because lamps decrease in light output as they age or if they are not clean.
		In photo-stimulatory photo-periods the light phase of a 24 hour cycle can be interrupted by any number of dark periods so long as none of the dark periods exceeds the length of the major dark period which determines dawn.

	The Min-Min Lights
		The Min Min lights first appeared near the site of the old Min Min Hotel which is located 73 km east of the town at the junction of the roads from McKinlay and Winton.
		At first, they thought the lights were a cat's eyes, but, when their headlights were off, the men saw that the lights were not the eyes of a cat, but still remained in the air.
		The lights regularly appear in definite places, and this suggested to the scientist the idea that they could be connected with the specific character of the landscape.

	Henry Thornton - The Min Min Light
		Min Min may be a series of unrelated phenomena with different explanations, artificially brought together.
		The Min Min light is an example of the Fata Morgani, a phenomenon seen in many parts of the world when light from an object is transmitted to an observer not in direct line of vision.
		The chances of seeing a Min Min light are particularly high in the channel country around Boulia, where the country is flat with gentle hollows where cold air is likely to get trapped and because there is a clear view of the horizon.

	The Australian Min Min Lights
		The Min Min Light was viewed as a "debil-debil", or as one local put it in the ABC "A Big Country" programme on the light, "The Boulia Triangle", "He was the fl fella's ghost, that fella." In 1878 many aborigines were killed in retaliation for some killings of white settlers.
		It was a single light and white in colour, similar to the light thrown by a quartz iodine headlight.
		The bright light evident, which illuminated a wide area, appeared to be radiating from the surface of the circular object and not from the central mass.

	The Min Min light and the Fata Morgana. An optical account of a mysterious Australian phenomenon » Clinical and ...
		This explanation is based on the inverted mirage or Fata Morgana, where light is refracted long distances over the horizon by the refractive index gradient that occurs in the layers of air during a temperature inversion.
		Both natural and man-made light sources can be involved, with the isolated light source making it difficult to recognise the features of the Fata Morgana that are obvious in daylight and with its unsuspected great distance contributing to the mystery of its origins.
		Conclusion: Many of the strange properties of the Min Min light are explicable in terms of the unusual optical conditions of the Fata Morgana, if account is also taken of the human factors that operate under these highly-reduced stimulus conditions involving a single isolated light source without reference landmarks.

	Min Min Lights
		The Min Min I remember at Fairview near Kynuna, just used to appear right out in the direction where there was absolutely no roads, no homesteads, nothing.We used to call it the Duck Hole Min Min because it appeared from the direction of a water hole called the Duck Hole.
		Some aboriginals I have spoken to have stated that there parents used threats of the Min Min to curb their behaviour when they were children.
		Some of the information here was taken from Maureen Kozicka's book "The Mystery of the Min Min Light." She wrote the first and only book on the subject and was a true pioneer in actually going out and looking for the light, and collecting stories on it.
