Hi.  I found this at a flea market today:

It's a disc maybe 6-8" in diameter made of heavy canvas.  The border is also
quite heavy; it has something sewn into it (like a heavy cord or flexible wire)
to weight it down, it seems.  My wife decided it could be used as a frisbee, and
it does in fact fly quite nicely.  So, two questions:  can anybody confirm what
this thing is, and when is it from?  The printing looks like Blacktron (I?).  I
couldn't match it with a set, but the parts used to build the model look like
they could have come from the 6894 Invader.

It is a frisbee, I had a Yamaha one when I was a kid. The idea is it collapses
if it hits you so it does not hurt like a plastic disk.
