Police would treat Robert Taylor’s report regarding his apparent out-of-this-world encounter as a case of criminal assault. This would make the incident the only UFO or alien abduction case to be part of a criminal investigation. It is highly probable that one of Scotland’s most famous UFO encounters sometimes referred to as the “Dechmont Woods Encounter”, involved the alien abduction of Taylor, or at least some kind of interaction.

Whether aliens whisked Robert Taylor off from the Dechmont Woods that cold morning or not, it remains one of the most interesting and genuinely strange cases on record.

Hi there.
I lived only two miles from Dechmont when the encounter happened. A friend of mine worked with Robert Taylor and said he was a man of integrity and wold never have lied about it. That doesn’t preclude misidentification, of course, but he was not doing it for attention.
The incident happened 22 (11 x 2) years before 9/11, on 11/9 in US date order, which of course was a ‘9/11’ here. The two spheres pulling on Mr.Taylor’s trouser legs symbolised the fall of the towers. The markings left on the ground by the UFO resemble a tet, the 9th Hebrew character, which has an evil aspect, resembling a serpent, and a benign aspect as a man in submission to the Messiah. That contains the meaning of 9/11, an event so momentous its shockwaves reached around the world and permeated time itself.
Great UFO Story. I want to cover this on my podcast today. Cheers!
