A space capsule-like item on the side of an Arizona interstate caught the attention of drivers Monday who may have thought astronauts touched down in the desert. Several people traveling along Interstate 10 just outside Casa Grande, Arizona -- about 50 miles south of Phoenix -- contacted authorities after spotting the capsule, which turned out to be a cement truck drum repurposed into a piece of art, Fox 10 reported. It appears an artist got creative near Casa Grande and turned a cement truck drum into a space capsule! The artist behind the creation, Jack Millard, told the Arizona Republic he was driving through the area, spotted the abandoned cement truck sitting in the field and thought it looked like the capsules astronauts would use for space missions. Millard told the Arizona Republic he explained to motorists and police who pulled over the capsule was just an art project.
