The Min Min is a unexplained light that has been reported in areas of Eastern Australia. The aboriginal people have myths about the Min Min dating back before white settlement.
The Min Min is a disc like light that has been reported to follow or approach people and then disappear when fired upon only to reappear in a different spot.
One of the first sighting by settlers was at Warenda Station and the incident was reported to the police at Boulia. This the names of the threads in this design.
