Two days later and over five hundred thousand miles from Earth, the Korolevs’ data recorder was recording everything, the two men were asleep in their chairs, and then a mysterious shadow appeared over the spacecraft. The ship was jostled, which caused both cosmonauts to awaken, and they felt as if they were being pulled upwards, even though it was supposed to be an impossibility with no gravity in space. Gagarin got out of his chair, went to a window and looked outside, and what he saw shocked him. There was a spaceship of unknown origin out there, and it appeared to be pulling the Korolev into the ship. Gagarin went over to his supply bag and pulled out his pistol, and checked it to see if it had bullets, which it did, and began weighing his options. Komarov saw this, his eyes went wide, and he asked, “You don’t really plan on shooting your way out of this, do you?”
“No, I don’t, but this is a protective measure. We have no idea if they’re hostile or what they even look like. I just want to be prepared in any case and it looks like we won’t have long to wait to see our benefactors.”
The Korolev was pulled inside the spaceship into what appeared to be a hangar bay of some sorts, from what Gagarin could see, since he saw craft of various sizes sitting in the hangar. The bay doors closed, breathable air was pumped into the hangar, and both cosmonauts experienced gravity again. Gagarin decided to open the hatch of the Korolev and see what’s out there, but, he made sure he kept his gun with him. Both men climbed out of their ship, looked around, and waited next to the Korolev for someone or something to appear. Their wait didn’t last very long when a door opened and what appeared to be four humans came walking towards the two Russians, as Gagarin and Komarov nervously stood next to their spacecraft waiting for whatever came next.
What appeared to be an officer of some sort walked up to both men, and said, “Greetings. I am Commander Gregor Lomanco of the Terran Base on Mars. We detected your spacecraft here drifting severely off-course for what we assume was a mission to your moon. Even though we officially try never to interfere with human activity, this is one time we thought it best to come to your aid. Unfortunately, we can’t return either of you to Earth, since it would open up too many questions about us, and it would help if you lowered your weapon. Now, who are you?”
“I am Yuri Gagarin and this is Vladimir Komarov, we are cosmonauts from the Soviet Union,”

Description:
An advanced group of humans leave ancient Earth, but keep an eye on their less advanced cousins. The advanced humans meet the Ragnor, an alien species that experiments on other species for no other reason but that they can. The advanced humans begin to manipulate Earth history by posing as historical figures such as King Arthur, Galileo, Amelia Earhart, among others. The Ragnor find Earth, causing all sorts of historical anomalies such as the Salem Witch Trials and the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists. In the 1940's, one of their ships get shot down over New Mexico, by some American fighter pilots with some amazing flying and some lucky machine gunning. Once the scientists of Earth start reverse engineering the downed spacecraft, President Truman issues an executive order that will forever change Earth history.
