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.

Whenever someone asks the former warehouse supervisor about those crates, he tells them to drop it if they value their pension.

They weren't shipping vinyl records or promotional posters. That was rack-mount telecommunications hardware.

Conspiracy theorists love turning mundane corporate warehouse logistics into clandestine government black-ops.

Every warehouse has 'Special Projects' pallets. Usually it's high-value promotional giveaways or point-of-sale displays that managers don't want stolen.
