Investigating the shipping manifests from Orion's Burbank facility right before the 1989 shutdown.

Three days before the September 9, 1989 fire at Orion Tower, an unmarked flatbed truck arrived at 03:00 and loaded all three unopened pallets back up.
The warehouse workers were explicitly forbidden from unbanding the crates or checking inventory barcodes.

Where were those pallets taken? To Ashford Poly? To a military storage depot?

Armed guards? Come on. In the 80s, security couriers transported expensive gold stampers and master tapes all the time.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

The flatbed truck had government GSA license plates. Someone tracked the dispatch order to an airfield in Palmdale.
