This information leaflet, attributed to West Lothian Council and undated, presents case file number 1013 on a UFO encounter at Dechmont Law, West Lothian, on November 9, 1979. It recounts that forestry worker Robert Taylor met a large metallic sphere in a clearing and says two smaller spheres dragged him before he lost consciousness. It also notes the ground marks the police found and the forensic results on his clothing, and it cites Strange Phenomena Investigations' conclusion that he saw something 'not of this Earth'.
