It was brown, covered in craters. Like a small moon. It was spinning like a bowling ball between 200 to 300 feet from the ground. It was moving to slow to be a meteor. Maybe 25 to 30 mph. It was as big as a house. The night sky was clear. It was no more than 1000 ft from us. It was moving in a straight line across the sky. It was my cousin's birthday party so it was in October late '70's. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD))
