Aerobat Aviation, Inc: Flying discs spotted over Florida

Flying discs have been spotted over Florida.

But these aren't UFO's... because we know who's flying them.

"Aerobat Aviation" in Brooksville is trying to mass market the flying saucer.

The aircraft uses a patented circular frame called GeoBat.

Aerobat CEO Travis Shannon says his saucer can out perform any plane with the traditional shape of two wings and a tail.

"We have the maneuverability of a Porsche and the stability of a Cadillac. Highly stable aircraft in the sky."

Right now, all of the Aerobat prototypes are unmanned, but they are now building a version that can hold two people inside.

Shannon says when it's ready, it should retail for less than the price of a luxury car.

The company's website lists a price for that two-seater right now... and it's $198,000.

No space bucks accepted.
