It all started when Robert "Bob" Taylor - a 61-year-old forestry worker - went out into the Dechmont Woods in West Lothian, Scotland on November 9th, 1979 to walk his dog - a red setter named Lara.

As he turned a corner, he came across what he described as a "flying dome" that was hovering a few inches above the forest floor a short distance from where he was standing.

Its surface, he noted, was like "a dark metallic material with a rough texture like sandpaper" and a distinct smell similar to that of burning brakes seemed to permeate the air.

Then, without warning, two spiked, metallic spheres appeared, grabbed his clothes and began dragging him across the grass toward the object.

It was at this point that he fell unconscious.

When he awoke several hours later, he found that his clothes were torn and that he had suffered a series of cuts and bruises all over his body.

When police officers later went to investigate the scene of the incident, they discovered strange "ladder-shaped marks" on the ground.Ultimately, no definitive explanation was ever found and Taylor himself died back in 2007 having never discovered the truth of what had happened to him.

His torn trousers, however, still remain an intriguing piece of physical evidence of the incident.

Robinson, who has been attempting to donate the pants to the National Museums of Scotland as an important piece of Scottish history, has been met with a frustrating level of resistance.

"This is not any old pair of trousers," he said. "They are part of Scotland's biggest ever UFO story."

"A full-blown police investigation was carried out including a forensic examination of the ripped trousers. It might sound bizarre to some. But this is an iconic piece of Scottish history which rightly deserves it place in a museum."

"I've been offered thousands of pounds by an American businessman but I have refused."

"I wanted to donate these trousers to the National Museums of Scotland. Sadly, they refused. I'm very disappointed."

The only reason given by museum officials is that they "already have similar material".
