In August 1984, three wooden pallets marked 'ORION R&D // CRE-7 HARDWARE' were delivered under armed security escort. 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. -- Pavel Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From knovak@uni-hamburg.de Sun Feb 19 21:11:41 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!uni-hamburg!knovak From: knovak@uni-hamburg.de (Karen Novak) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: The Glendale/Burbank Orion warehouse sealed pallets mystery Message-ID: <1995Feb19.211141.4982@uni-hamburg.de> Date: Sun, 19 Feb 1995 21:11:41 GMT References: <1995Feb18.114641.2395@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: uni-hamburg.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1995Feb18.114641.2395@cam.ac.uk>, pandersson@cam.ac.uk (Pavel Andersson) writes: > 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.
