About a dozen shiny disklike objects were "milling around the sky in a rough formation."

Early studies demonstrated that chilling caused platelets to lose their disklike form and become irregularly convoluted with multiple pseudopods.

Yet one and all, so distant are they, remain mere disklike points of light before the utmost powers of the modern telescope.

They have an oblong, disklike body, supported by a thin chitinous plate, from which rises a thin diagonal crest which acts as a sail.

"I felt some strange, disklike protuberances in my dress suit the other day, but belike they are but poker chips," said Stacy thoughtfully.
