The Scottish UFO Trail Dedicated To Country's Only Alien Police Investigation

For the Daily Record's newest Walk of the Week, we have chosen something a bit different — with the Dechmont UFO Trail being the site of a supposed alien encounter.

A Scottish village around just half an hour out of Edinburgh might not be the first place yoy would expect to find a UFO monument.

Dechmont is a charming little settlement near Uphall in West Lothian , home to a population of around just 1,000. It also has a fascinating and somewhat spooky history, which is why it is the site of the Daily Record's latest Walk of the Week .

Each week, we choose one walking trail or beauty spot from around Scotland and delve deeper into what makes it special. This time, it is the Dechmont UFO Trail — and with a name like that it is easy to guess why.

The story of the Dechmont UFO Trail dates back to November 9, 1979, when local forest worker Robert "Bob" Taylor claimed to have had an experience with an unidentified flying object. The forester stated that he was walking through the nearby forest up to the Dechmont Law hill when he came into contact with an alien spaceship.

According to Taylor, he saw a floating dome more than six metres in the sky over a clearing. The UFO was supposedly made out of "a dark metallic material with a rough texture like sandpaper", and featured mini propellors.

The forest worker then recalled seeing strange orbs that looked like sea mines emerging from the spacecraft that dragged him towards it. He then fell unconscious, with the final thing he remembered being a pungent unpleasant odour that reminded him of "burning brakes".

Taylor woke up to find that he was completely alone, with the UFO nowhere to be seen. When he returned home, his wife noticed that he was covered in cuts and bruises.

The forester took the police to the site where the incident occurred. Officers discovered "ladder-shaped" markings where Taylor said he saw the spaceship, as well as smaller markings that may have been made by the mine-like structures.

Hi. Since I graduated from college, I've been trying to find cool new interesting things to do. Creating special effects wins as my favorite.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
