SCIENCE MINISTER OPENS THE FAMILY X-FILES

December 05, 1996

The Federal Science Minister, Mr McGauran, has revealed his mother
believed she once stumbled across evidence of a UFO landing.

Mr McGauran's decision to throw open the family X-Files yesterday
followed an admission that some of the 30 UFO reports received
annually by the CSIRO could not be explained.

"When she (Mary McGauran) was a young lass she walked out of the door
of her farm in the La Trobe Valley and swears there were patterns in the
grass which could not have been caused by humans or animals" she told
Melbourne radio station 3AW.

On Tuesday, in a written response to calls to open the files on UFO sightings,
he said some could not be explained.

"Many reports lack sufficient detail on which to base a scientific
investigation," he said.

A spokeswoman for Mr McGauran said the minister believed 98 per cent of
sightings could be explained. "But there are an odd 1 or 2 per cent that
really stump the experts", she said.
