MP4 shouldn't be a problem. We want to move away from anything Flash. There are hundreds of millions of mobile devices that can't play them.

Just before Christmas 1998 I was visiting my then girlfriend. It was a clear and cold but snowless night in Cedar Rapids, IA. Around 10pm I went out to my car to retrieve something and while I was walking back towards the apartment I spotted movement out of the corner of my eye. Looking up I noted a craft moving in the sky, somewhere between 500 to 1000 feet off the ground. The craft had no lights on it (turned on anyway) whatsoever, but I was standing near the intersections of 1st Avenue & 40th Streets N.E. and the reason I was able to see the object was because the street lights were reflecting off the bottom of the surface of the all black colored craft. The craft was moving at a VERY slow rate, as in I could have jogged to keep up w/it if I wished to do so. It made no sounds of propulsion that I could detect. I could not see the outer edges of the craft because of the darkness, but I could sense it was enormous in size. Having been a UFO enthusiast I wanted to be certain that my eyes were not playing tricks on me so I intentionally turned away and looked to the ground, rubbed my eyes, and returned my gaze skyward, and the craft was still there, moving in a southerly direction, essentially tracking along 1st Avenue. I watched for perhaps a minute then shrugged my shoulders and went back inside.
Over the years I did some research and discovered what I think to have been a reasonable explanation for what I had seen, and I'm certain now it was a stealth dirigible. Confirmation of my belief came when I heard that a number of similar sightings had been reported in generally the same time period in southern Illinois, a few hundred miles away, and where some UFOlogists and secret military weaponry enthusiasts believe these craft may have been based (somewhere east of St. Louis). I can tell you it is a little unsettling to see an utterly silent, gigantic craft creeping along in the darkness, and even more so to see it hovering over a major population center, but I am at least satisfied that my "UFO" is no longer "Unidentified".
