Brown Donut craft that hovered and moved slowly in daylight. rotating and changing shape before sunset.

In August 2019 about 8:00pm I was looking north at a Thunderhead in the distance from my home. A speck in sky just left of the Clouds caught my eye. It didn’t seem to be moving so I grabbed my Binoculars and observed a brown object at an unknown distance and altitude. Approaching aircraft in GSO where obviously closer so I would estimate the craft was 8-10 miles and around 10,000- 20,000 AGL. The craft was turning while stationary and from what I could observe it had a hole in the fuselage but as it turned it became solid. It looked smooth at some points but then as it began to move slowly towards the thunderhead it stopped turning and looked jagged. Almost like looking like a rock. It was brown or brownish the entire time and stayed at the same altitude. My wife observed the craft with my binoculars for a moment but she couldn’t keep a fix on it as the sun set. It did give a slight reflection as the sun went down in front of the clouds but it disap! peared towards the east behind the trees. I would like to note that the first observation through my binoculars the craft looked like a donut. After about 3-5 minutes I never saw that angle again as it moved.
