The night CIA stole a Soviet spacecraft that landed Nasa on the Moon

The CIA secretly stole a Soviet spacecraft for a night during the Cold War. After the Soviets launched Sputnik, the US feared their missile capabilities. The CIA suspected Soviet "models" of their Moon spacecraft were real. They intercepted a truck, examined the craft, and returned it before dawn, with Soviets noticing nothing.
