The source is the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of the Australian Government, more precisely CAAP 5.13-2(0): NVFR Rating, page 7, section 3.1.1.

3.1.1 Night flying accidents are not as frequent as daytime accidents because less flying is done at night. However, statistics indicate that an accident at night is about two and a half times more likely to be fatal than an accident during the day.

I read this thoroughly, before I went to my night training. I am still in love with night flying, but the dangers are not to be underestimated. I prepare to die before every flight
