Abstract

Abstract A disk shaped flight toy which is illuminated for night flying. An included dome, with the rest of the toy, simulates artists'' conceptions of flying saucers. The dome encases suitable light means that can be selectively activated so that the object can be illuminated as desired for night flying, retrieval, and so forth. Rays from the central light object of the toy are deflected outwardly and radially so illuminate either the material of the toy itself, internally, or to reflect light from one or both opposite surfaces thereof.
