Robert Taylor / Dechmont Law: assault report and unexplained ground marks
Dechmont Law, near Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland
Witness account
Taylor described a dome-like object and smaller spiked spheres pulling at his clothing before he lost consciousness. Torn trousers and reported injuries prompted an assault investigation; he did not remember an onboard examination.
Public record
Police and medical attention followed promptly. The accessible West Lothian archive contains press cuttings and commemorative correspondence, rather than the complete original investigative file.
