Mystery

An elusive knot lies at the heart of any good mystery. What draws us in are the secrets and lies, the intrigue and talk of conspiracy. No matter how many times we tell the story, wonder what really happened, what might have been, questions remain. Not everything can be explained. The enigma, in the end, is something you feel.

It can't be a bird, it can't be gas what they reckon. Because how could it stay with that car when it went as fast as it did. So I wouldn't know what it is, wouldn't have a clue, what do you reckon it is?

The mysterious Min Min Lights have been seen by many people in outback Queensland. Most of the sightings are around the central Queensland town of Boulia. Granny Jean Locke has personally seen them on four separate occasions. No satisfactory scientific explanation exists to account for them.
