In a most unexpected encounter, tourists were startled to find suited astronauts exploring the quieter locations around the National Park of Capitol Reef in Utah today. According to witnesses, the three astronauts remained oblivious to the attention of onlookers. "They got out of an old blue truck with their helmets and backpacks whirring with some kind of breathing gas, and talking on fancy radios," said one eye-witness. "They must've been from NASA or something, I dunno. We were all fascinated with them".

At least one witness believed that they were part of a Roswell experiment. "The truck was Air Force. They had tried to rub the lettering out, but I saw the marks on the doors. It was Air Force alright". It is unknown what kind of experiments the astronauts were performing, but physchological trials on civilians have not been ruled out. NASA PR spokesman Redd Widely has denied any involvement, stating it has no knowledge of the incident. One of the astronauts, however, had a 'Grillmayer' badge on his suit, arousing suspicions of foreign involvement. Others believe they were beekeepers from nearby Caineville.
