Observations by the MACHO collaboration suggest that a significant proportion of the galactic halo dark matter is in the form of compact objects with typical masses $M\sim 0.5M_{\odot}$. One of the current mysteries is the nature and origin of these objects. We suggest that these objects are stars composed of mirror matter. This interpretation provides a plausible explanation for the inferred masses and abundance of the MACHO events. We also comment on the possibility of inferring the existence of mirror supernova's by detecting the neutrino burst in existing underground detectors such as SuperKamiokande.
