I've never heard that one before! However, this one is true:

"Another Great Frisbee Moment: In 1968, the U.S. Navy spends almost $400,000
to study Frisbees in wind tunnels, follow their flights with computers and
cameras, and build a special Frisbee-launching machine on top of a Utah cliff
to test a prototype flare launcher."

This quote taken from a full article on the invention of the flying disc:

Hop this is of use.
