Artist impression of another encounter which was very similar
to Taylor's, but which occurred in Utica, NY, U.S. 2019!
The next thing he
knew, he
was coming round with his head pounding and a
bitter
taste in his mouth, unable to walk or talk. His dog
was running round in
circles,
barking furiously.
Taylor calculated that he had been unconscious for about 20 minutes. Eventually he managed to crawl back to his truck, but could not get it started so had to walk the mile to his home in Livingston.
His wife was shocked by his muddy, disheveled appearance and rang the police and doctor. The police treated the matter seriously and returned to the site with Taylor.
They found ladder-shaped marks in the soil where the spaceship was said to have hovered, and marks following the path of the mine-like objects.
The doctor found grazes on Taylor's legs and chin, but no other signs of injury; however the heavy trousers he had been wearing were ripped round the ankles.
Despite exhaustive enquiries the police confessed to being "completely baffled". They filed the incident as a criminal assault, and the case remains open.
The site of Taylor's encounter became a magnet for UFO enthusiasts around the world, who erected a plaque to mark the spot.
In 2004, on the 25th anniversary of his sighting, a group visited the site to meditate in silence. The spaceship failed to materialise.
It was generally agreed that Taylor, who moved away from the Livingston area after his disturbing adventure, was not a man given to concocting fanciful stories.
He never sought publicity or gained financially from the ensuing media interest - and he continued to stand by every word of his account.
Robert Taylor was born in 1918 and died on March
14, 2007 aged 88.
