super simple office 'floater', great for kids too!

This device when given an upward toss, as well as a rotational velocity will float to the ground. When used in an outdoor setting, the wind catches it and will give it some zany maneuvers.

Step 1 The materials needed: paper or styrofoam plate, styrofoam coffee cup, and tape

yep thats all you need! Of course, you can add UFO like markings to the pieces if you like!

A video of it in flight would be good.

I needs me a video recorder! :(

[Kiteman]

You took digital photos - does your camera not have a video function? Even a mobile phone? As long as you can upload it to youtube or similar, you can show it here.

How close to the center of the plate does the cup have to be?

[troopin34]

If its off a little it won't really effect it. The paper plate, being heavier, will keep more rotational momentum, and fly a little better.

Cool!

Agreeing with Kiteman, a video would be good.
This is really easy to make.
