In ufology, the Robert Taylor Incident, aka Livingston Incident or Dechmont Woods Encounter is the name given to claims of sighting an extraterrestrial spacecraft on Dechmont Law in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland in 1979 by forester Robert "Bob" Taylor. When Taylor returned home from a trip to Dechmont Law dishevelled, his clothes torn, and with grazes to his chin and thighs, he claimed he´d encountered a "flying dome" which tried to pull him aboard. Due to his injuries, the police recorded the matter as a common assault and the incident is popularly promoted as the "only example of an alien sighting becoming the subject of a criminal investigation".
