	WFDF Rules: Article VIII - Disc Golf
		Discs must be released and come to rest (not be moving) before a player may consider the hole completed and remove the disc.
		A thrown disc that hits another player, spectator, or animal will either be played where it comes to rest, or if it deflected out-of-bounds or was caught and thrown, marked as close as possible to the point of contact, as determined by a majority of the group or an official.
		A disc will be considered out-of-bounds only when the out-of bounds area can be clearly seen between the edge of the disc and the in-bounds line at the time the player arrives at the disc or the point where it was last in-bounds, after taking a reasonable time to do so.

	Flying disc toy with lighting system - Patent 5611720
		What is needed is a flying disc toy that provides both LED lighting that flashes on in response to movement of the disc, and off in response to a timer circuit, as well as glow-in-the-dark structures.
		A novel flying disc toy is provided that provides both glow-in-the-dark structures as well as LED lighting that flashes on in response to movement of the disc, and off in response to a timer circuit.
		This allows the flying disc to be held or left where, due to the attitude of the disc, switch SW1 is closed without continuing illumination of the LEDs and consequent depletion of power from battery B1.

	The Flying Disc, Air Intelligence Digest
		Of course, if the western disc predicted by the article were to be successful, perhaps one might expect to catch a glimpse of the new aircraft as it was tested and deployed.
		The full impact of the effect that a disc aircraft might have on the planning and conduct of defensive and offensive military operations is apparent when we consider some of the operations characteristics that appear to be within the capabilities of this proposed new configuration.
		It is estimated that in the space of 30 minutes, a disc could take off from its nesting place on the deck of a sub, climb to 65,000 feet or higher, make a run on a target area 200 to 300 miles inland, drop its bomb load, and zip back home to the sub.

	Flying Disc, Alaska Science Forum
		Delamere demonstrated this fact by pushing his 175-gram flying disc through the air as if he was tossing a shot put.
		The faster an object spins and the heavier it is at the outer edges (where most of the weight in a flying disc is), the more steadily it holds its course.
		Because discs are flat on both sides, the lifting force works even when the disc is inverted, enabling such creative throws as the hammer.

	New, improved flying disc developed
		His aerobie flying ring set the Guinness world record for the farthest thrown object when it was hurled 1,257 feet in 1985.
		For example, if the disc is spinning clockwise and the center of lift moves ahead of the center of the disc, the upward force acts on the right side of the disc, causing it to tilt and curve to the left.
		That is because in the new design the thrower's hand naturally grasps the disc at the same level as the flat portion of the disc, where most of its mass is centered, the inventor says.
