It is not often that the British police investigate a close encounter. This incident took place in a wooded area near Livingston, Scotland on Friday November 9th, 1979.
Sixty-one-year-old Bob Taylor worked for the local forestry department, and on that particular morning set out to patrol Dechmont Law Park. As he walked into a clearing, Bob was astounded to see a dull gray metallic dome-shaped object sitting on the ground. It was about 20 feet wide. Sections of the object faded in and out of vision, so that Bob could see through it to the trees behind.
As he turned to run, two objects that resembled spiked sea mines rolled across the ground and caught in his clothes, dragging him down. Bob passed out, but when he came round the objects had gone. He arrived home suffering from a pounding headache and nausea.
The police were called and the site was cordoned off. Officers discovered ladder-like marks and holes that could have been made by sharp spikes. An inspection by forestry workers and ufologists uncovered drag marks, as if someone had been pulled across the ground. Detective Inspector Ian Work began an investigation for criminal assault. Forensic tests on Bob Taylor's clothes supported his description of what happened. Rips in the thick material of his pants' legs had been made with a pointed implement rather than a blade.
The police failed to make an arrest, and hypnosis failed to reveal what might have actually happened to Bob Taylor.
