==Appearance and behaviour== Accounts of the light appearances vary, though they are most commonly described as being fuzzy, disc-shaped lights that appear to hover just above the [[horizon]].<ref name=pettigrew1/><ref name=kozicka1>Kozicka, M.G. "The Mystery of the Min Min Light. Cairns", Bolton Imprint</ref> They are often described as being white, though some accounts describe them as changing colour from white to red to green and back again. Some accounts describe them as being dim; others describe them as being bright enough to illuminate the ground under them and to cause nearby objects to throw clearly defined shadows.<ref name=pettigrew1/><ref name=kozicka1/> According to [[folklore]], the lights sometimes follow or approach people and disappear when fired upon, sometimes very rapidly, only to reappear later on,<ref name="pettigrew1" /><ref name="kozicka1" /> and anyone who chases the lights and catches them will never return to tell the tale.<ref name="TYM2001">{{cite book|author=Tim the Yowie Man|title=The adventures of Tim the Yowie Man cryptonaturalist|publisher=Random House Australia|year=2001|isbn=174051078X|location=Sydney, Australia|page=256|chapter=Spook of the Min Min Light}}</ref> Some witnesses describe the light as appearing to approach them several times before retreating. Others report that the lights were able to keep pace with them when they were in a moving motor vehicle.<ref name="pettigrew1" /><ref name="kozicka1" />
