I hope it is safe to talk about these things, it's been a while. I used to work as an electrical drafter at NASA Glen. It was a 5 year contract and when it ran out, I tried to get an extension. I helped do some wiring drawings to install new wiring in some of the labs. Man, that was an adventure. No white walls or coats there, small sliver of a dingy room behind rows of iron barn type doors. There was a strange place though, I don't think I was allowed to go in there. Pretty big space, had an old phone booth in the corner. At certain times 10 people would go in there and 7 come out. This happened on a regular basis.
I was working late one day and 3 people in astronaut gear came out. They were talking about the space station and how it was a good show. Curiosity is not my strong suit but I couldn't help it and hid in the scaffolding. I saw them go in the phone booth, all of them, 10 people. With each person they shut the door and then the next. There was no eerie sounds, no hum or flash of lights.
I got down from my perch and looked closer. Yep, small glass box, a folding glass door, but no phone. I opened the door and stepped inside, the walls turned into a mirror and back to clear glass. I became disoriented, it surprised me so I let out a shriek. I launched my body through the opened door to dash across warehouse only to hit the wall of a storage bulkhead. I've seen this place before in pictures, International Space Station. I swallowed hard, got back into the phone booth, it did the mirror thing again and I flung through the doors into the big room. I thought I escaped unnoticed and went home. The next day some people saw me coming, made muffled screaming noises behind my back and laughed between themselves after I walked past.
