The instrument promptly signaled to Houston that it had detected the lunar version of the rolling stones...
...some where in a three-square-mile area in the south eastern corner of the Ocean of Storms. From the pictures that Survey or had transmitted, they also knew that it was standing in a crater about 100 yds. wide.

The size and shape of MIRVed missiles would be indistinguishable from the size and shape of single warhead missiles...
