 SA>> RECENT photos revealing mysterious lights visible around the
 SA>> Grampians mountain ranges, extending 100 to 160km north of
 SA>> Warrnambool, have been released to The Standard.

 JS>> There are also the famous "Brown Mountain lights of
Virgina" that
 JS>> have drawn the same kind of attention over the ages. These lights
 JS>> also hover over a mountain range as do the ones in Your article.
 JS>> This phenomenom has never been fully explained, but the popular
 JS>> explanation by skeptics is a weather event similar to a fireball.
 JS>> Despite the arguments of open-minded people, automotive headlights
 JS>> and aircraft are also mentioned by the skeptics.

 SA> Your Brown Mountain Lights sound very similar to the Min Min Light,
 SA> a hovering luminescent ball seen in Queensland. One plausible explanation
 SA> is that it is an inverted mirage of light sources hundreds of kilos over
 SA> the horizon.

Yes, I've heard that explanation. It's a good one. Another possibility is
ball lightning. ...Oh, did I mention UFOs?
