In ufology, the Robert Taylor Incident, aka Livingston Incident or Dechmont Woods Encounter is the name given to claims of sighting an extraterrestrial spacecraft on Dechmont Law in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland in 1979 by forester Robert "Bob" Taylor. When Taylor returned home from a trip to Dechmont Law dishevelled, his clothes torn and with grazes to his chin and thighs, he claimed he'd encountered a "flying dome" which tried to pull him aboard. Due to his injuries, the police recorded the matter as a common assault and the incident is popularly promoted as the "only example of an alien sighting becoming the subject of a criminal investigation".〔(Bob Taylor (Obituary) ), The Telegraph 23 March 2007 (2008-04-06)〕〔(Obituary: Robert Taylor, a possible victim of alien abduction, died on March 14th, aged 88 ) ''The Economist'' published 29 March 2007〕 ==Taylor's story== According to Taylor, a forestry worker for the Livingston Development Corporation, on 9 November 1979, he parked his pickup truck at the side of a road near the M8 motorway and walked along a forest path up the side of Dechmont Law with his dog. Taylor reported seeing what he described as a "flying dome" or a large, circular sphere approximately in diameter, hovering above the forest floor in a clearing about away from his truck. Taylor described the object as "a dark metallic material with a rough texture like sandpaper" featuring an outer rim "set with small propellers". Taylor claims he experienced a foul odour "like burning brakes" and that smaller spheres "similar to sea mines" had seized him and were dragging him in the direction of the larger object when he lost consciousness. According to Taylor, he later awoke and the objects were gone, but he could not start his truck, so he walked back to his home in Livingston.〔Gareth Edwards; (I'm after the aliens that beat up Bob ); Edinburgh Evening News dated 9 November 2004.
