19th June 1978, Stanford in the Vale, Gloucestershire, England
A group of 3 Adults and two children were driving along the A417, and had just passed Stanton-in-the-Vale when they noticed bright lights passing by the car. The driver stepped out and witnessed a disc shaped object land behind trees. He re-entered the car and they returned home much later than expected. They decided to undergo hypnotic regression after having strange dreams, which brought out that they had undergone an abduction experience.
1st September 1978, Llanerchymedd, Anglesey, Gwynedd
Some young boys who were playing football, saw what they thought was a helicopter land in a field close to where they were playing. They went over out of curiosity and found that it was a white object like a smooth nosed rocket. They went to fetch some adults who also witnessed 2 6-foot humanoids in one-piece suits near to the object. None of the witnesses saw the object leave and local RAF bases denied any involvement.
31st December 1978
An object was seen hovering in the sky above Dumfries by numerous witnesses, the incident was explained as a meteorite, but many eyewitnesses were adamant it was not.
9th November 1979, Dechmont Law near Livingston, Lothian, Scotland
Bob Taylor, a forestry worker with Livingston Development Department, was walking his dog on Dechmont Law, when he came across a large spherical object in a woodland clearing.

This 'UFO' dropped two round objects with protruding metal spikes, which looked like naval mines. These came towards Bob, attached to his trousers and began to drag him towards the larger 'UFO'. At this point he passed out and came to face down on the floor, after a few minutes he managed to crawl back to his pick up truck and drive home. Bob never changed his story and the incident is one of the strangest Scottish close encounter cases.
