The Dechmont Woods incident is unusual among reported UFO sightings in that it was investigated by the police.
In his testimony to the police, the 61-year-old described how he saw a 30ft-high "dome-shaped" object in a clearing in the forest near the West Lothian new town on 9 November 1979.
He told how two-spiked spheres then rolled out towards him and, as he passed out, he was aware of being grabbed on either side of his legs. Mr Taylor woke up in a dishevelled state 20 minutes later.

Lake Michigan UFO sightings: After 25 years, mystery remains

Today, the mystery remains unsolved, but it continues to fascinate extraterrestrial researchers, psychologists and history buffs alike.
Others gave similar accounts, including Holland Police Officer Jeff Velthouse and a meteorologist from the National Weather Service Office in Muskegon County. What's more, the meteorologist recorded unknown echoes on his radar the same time Velthouse reported the lights.

When UFOs Buzzed the White House and the Air Force Blamed the Weather - HISTORY
So when a rash of strange sightings was reported in the skies over Washington D.C. that summer, the press and the public demanded answers. Were these unexplained radar blips, crafts that in some cases outran jets , part of a nuclear-armed Soviet invasion—a very real threat at the height of the Red Scare? Or were they evidence of something far more mysterious?
It all started in 1947, when a search-and-rescue pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported nine "saucer-like things...flying like geese in a diagonal chainlike line" at speeds exceeding 1,000 m.p.h. near Mount Rainier in Washington State. Within weeks, “flying saucer” sightings had been reported in 40 other states.

The true story behind UFO sighting TV series "Project Blue Book" — Quartzy
In the 1950s and 1960s, the US Air Force secretly investigated more than 12,000 reports of unidentified flying objects. The findings on the vast majority of those sightings were uneventful: people misidentifying common objects like planes, lights, birds, and comets; hoaxers looking to make a name for themselves; small towns succumbing to hysteria (okay, that one is kind of eventful). But 701 sightings still remain unidentified to this day.
Initially a skeptic of flying saucers, Hynek came to believe over the course of the top-secret project that serious investigation of UFOs was a legitimate scientific endeavor. By the time the program was shuttered in 1969, Hynek was one of the few people involved who conceded that some UFO cases could simply defy explanation . Today he's known as the father of ufology, who coined the phrase " close encounter ."

Pilots believe they encountered a UFO circling over Gloucester on Valentine's Day.

An astronomer captured SpaceX's recently-launched Starlink satellites on video - The Verge
Astronomer Dr. Marco Langbroek noted on his blog that he calculated where the satellites would be orbiting, and waited with his camera. The result is a spectacular one: a string of bright dots flying across the sky, prompting some people to report that they saw UFOs .
Langbroek shot the video with a "WATEC 902H low-light-level surveillance camera, equipped with a Canon FD 1.8/50 mm lens," and counted at least 56 distinct objects. He noted that the "train" will make 2-3 passes each night, and will eventually spread out into their destination orbits.
