The first time I visited the Dechmont Woods site where Bob Taylor had his UFO abduction in 1979 I had no idea just how big the woods were and thought I would find the area without many problems.How wrong I was,I was driven there by my youngest son Ross. We parked the car and proceeded to look for the site.
What happened next was indeed a piece of good fortune,we saw a gentleman coming towards us walking his dogs.I introduced myself and asked him if he had any idea where the site was. His name was Bob Cochrane who lives nearby in Dechmont village itself.
Back in 1979 he worked in the woods and Bob Taylor was his foreman.He remembered the incident very well even though he had not seen anything himself.He told me we were miles away from the site but if I waited while he took his dogs back to his house in the village he would get his car and come back and take us to the site of Bob Taylors encounter.
When he came back we followed him in my sons car for miles then he pulled into a clearing in the woods. It was all on foot after that and it was a fair trek until we finally reached another clearing that had the large stone that had been erected to the memory of Bob Taylors encounter.Bob Cochran told me that Bob Taylor had suffered a lot of ridicule after he spoke of his experience and had had to leave the area.
I recently saw Bob Taylor on TV ,he is an old man now,but his last words on the subject even after all this time was"I know what I saw".
