Narrative:

I observed a mode C intruder code XXXX enter my airspace from the shoshone MOA. The code was at FL222 the moas were active up to FL230. The code spilled out approximately 3 miles into my airspace then I called joshua (the controlling agency) and asked what the aircraft was doing. They responded that they did not know; but would find out. In the meantime; I was also working aircraft Y climbing out of las and was out of approximately FL200 for FL380. I stopped aircraft Y's climb at FL210 until I observed the code return to the MOA. I observed aircraft X about 10 miles outside the MOA before it turned back.joshua should have called me to point out the aircraft. It is somewhat disconcerting to have an active MOA only 4 miles away from the las departures especially when spill outs are possible.
