The marked location of the Dechmont Woods UFO incident. Forestry worker Robert Taylor reported seeing an alien spaceship in Dechmont woods near Livingston, in 1979. The Dechmont Woods incident is unusual among reported UFO sightings in that it was investigated by the police. They treated the rips to Mr Taylor's trousers as evidence of an assault but could never quite work out what had happened to him. In his testimony to the police, the 61-year-old described how he saw a 30ft-high "dome-shaped" object in a clearing in the forest near the West Lothian new town on 9 November 1979
