Dechmont Law Close Encounter Case

The Dechmont Law close encounter case is one of the most famous UFO incidents in Scotland. Centered on Robert Taylor’s 9 November 1979 encounter near Dechmont Law in West Lothian, the case became legendary because it combined a named witness, physical injuries, ground traces, police involvement, and a long-running dispute between ufologists and skeptics over what actually happened in the woods.
