Hey, it makes as much or more sense as some of the other projects that
are funded.

Hell, don't laugh, but there was once a funded project at one of the
service test pilot schools (I'm in fear of my life here if I divulge too
much :-) where the potential military use of the Frisbee was studied. I
recall the best of the best out there in the hangar one Saturday
afternoon throwing one around and jotting down copious and serious notes :-)
Don't know whatever happened to the final white paper, but I believe
it's filed in there somewhere along with the one trying to decide if a
fly lands on the ceiling from a half loop or a half slow roll.

IIRC, it's down the same aisle where The Ark ended up at the end of
the Indiana Jones movie...
