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

In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort.
The pallets had lead tamper-evident seals stamped with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Telecommunications.

Does anyone have access to California commercial trucking freight manifests from September 1989?

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

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

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