Just had a look on Google Earth, and to me, it looks like possibly moonlight being reflected off dry salt lakes and small lakes in the area...
Maybe, because the surrounds are so dark, the heat and light signatures stand out to the satellites like proverbial canine testicles, and cause a hit from the algorythm??
Do a google search for Plumridge Lakes just NE of Kalgoolrie, Ruddall river National Park (Lake Dissapointment, Lake Blanche and Lake Dora) and another big hit around Lake Mackay, all look to me to be in the approximate areas of some of the bigger light areas in WA... (I layered the NASA image over a Google map image and attached it)...
Plenty of small reflective salt deposits out there...I dont know exactly if thats it, but thats my thoughts..
Edit: Also just spotted a light hit near the area of the Bonneville Salt Flates in America.. Could be Salt Lake city, but seems pretty big and bright...
