DATELINE: SEOUL, Dec 31

BODY: A doughnut-shaped "flying saucer" glowed for an hour over a provincial city park Saturday night, attracting a crowd of awed onlookers and cameramen, news reports said Sunday.

The strange object emitted a wave of luminous red light from its center and moved slowly and soundlessly over a hilly park in the southern city of Taegu, Yonhap news agency said.

Television and radio stations were swamped with telephone calls by witnesses who claimed it was an unidentified flying object (UFO, Yonhap said.

An air force surveillance team in the city also saw the glowing saucer through binoculars but failed to detect it on a radar screen, it said.

Many people in the city were reported to have photographed the saucer.
