  • cur | prev 2024 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,860 bytes) (+160) . . (→ restored the Boulia position, which is that many have tried and none has succeeded. it is what the town's own material says and it is not this article's business to correct it)
  • cur | prev 2011 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,700 bytes) (+130) m . . (→ the paper has not been answered. noting that here because the article is otherwise open to being read as though the question were live)
  • cur | prev 2004 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,570 bytes) (+190) . . (→ explained the following, which is the part that sounded least like optics and is the easiest. a mirage has no position. move your eye and the image is rebuilt somewhere else, so it goes where you go)
  • cur | prev 2003 J. D. Pettigrew (talk | contribs) . . (2,380 bytes) (+340) . . (→ and then we made one. drove ten kilometres out, dropped the car into a watercourse below the sightline, and six of them watched the headlights come up over the horizon and sit there)
  • cur | prev 2003 J. D. Pettigrew (talk | contribs) . . (2,040 bytes) (+620) . . (→ it is a Fata Morgana carrying an ordinary light from tens or hundreds of kilometres off. we took the bearing with a car compass and had to drive five kilometres before it moved at all, which puts the source past three hundred)
  • cur | prev 2000 the Boulia Shire Council (talk | contribs) . . (1,420 bytes) (+260) . . (→ the Min Min Encounter opens in April. forty-five minutes, animatronic. the article should say so plainly, it is the reason most readers have heard of this)
  • cur | prev 1961 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,160 bytes) (+180) . . (→ added the explanations offered so far: swamp gas, phosphorescent birds, the headlights of a vehicle. the last is nearly right and was dismissed because there is no road out there)
  • cur | prev 1952 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (980 bytes) (−60) m . . (→ kept it but hedged it. read again, the passage does not clearly describe this at all, and it is a long way from the Channel Country)
  • cur | prev 1948 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,040 bytes) (+140) . . (→ added the 1838 sighting from Six Months in South Australia, which is offered everywhere as the earliest)
  • cur | prev 1937 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (900 bytes) (+200) . . (→ collected the accounts. they agree on the size, the height and the following, which is more agreement than most such things get)
  • cur | prev 1931 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (700 bytes) (+80) m . . (→ the page says it is named for the hotel. so does everyone. nobody has shown it, and there are those who say the word is not English at all)
  • cur | prev 1923 a drover (talk | contribs) . . (620 bytes) (+150) . . (→ followed me seven mile and stopped when I stopped. about the size of a football and off the ground the height of a man's eye)
  • cur | prev 1918 a stockman (talk | contribs) . . (470 bytes) (+470) . . (created page; there is a light out past the Min Min that keeps pace with you and will not be come up with. the hotel is long burnt and it has been about since)
