Build the Hull: Start with fabricating a round lightweight hull made from a composition of a strong lightweight composite material of carbon fiber and titanium. Aim for a round, disc-shaped design to maximize aerodynamics and minimize wind resistance while also paying homage to the traditional flying saucer.

Design the Inner Structure: Inside, design a wide circular area is needed to house the magnetic disk. This disk should be adjustable with a gyroscopic stabilizer system to ensure constant flatness regardless of the orientation of the hull. Use advanced materials like superconducting magnets and aircraft-grade aluminum for stability and weight reduction.

Develop the Rotating Magnetic Disk: The heart of the propulsion system in this machine lies within a rotating magnetic disk. This can be created using a superconductive magnetic compound. The disk needs to be connected to a power system that ideally utilizes some form of electromagnetic induction to avoid physical connections to the power source that could impede its rotation.

Power Source: To drive this gigantic magnetic disk, you would need an enormous and steady source of electricity. Consider using compact nuclear fusion reactors for this purpose. Although we haven't perfected it yet in reality, assume that miniature fusion reactors are stable and safe within this narrative.

Magnetic Levitation and Propulsion: Upon activation and proper speed, the rotating magnetic disk will interact with Earth's magnetic field, causing the saucer to levitate. For propulsion, shifting the orientation of the magnetic field in the desired direction will push the saucer forward, similar to Maglev trains.

Develop a Control System: Now, to control the direction, altitude, and speed of the machine, develop an AI based system. The AI can control the movement, power output, and orientation of the magnetic field for smooth navigation. It will also handle stabilization, ensuring that any internal operators or cargo does not suffer from sudden shifts or movements.

Required Safety Measures: As a safety measure, install an electromagnetic shield inside the hull of the saucer to protect any occupants from the high magnetic field’s harmful effects. Also, put redundancy measures in the power supply, control, and stabilization systems to ensure safe operation in case of failure in the primary systems.

This way, a flying saucer based on a rotating magnetic disk could be constructed. However, bear in mind that while this sounds plausible in theory, we are far from such technological advancements in reality, and it remains very much in the realm of science fiction.
