Nothing to do with UFOs themselves but everything to do with how compartmentalization of information and research can obscure the truth and delay important revelations. I think that the community would find this account interesting because of the parallels involved with how we hear research is done within the US government, except in an even more covert and clandestine operation.

The people in this article knew truths from within 3M that affected the entire human race — we are all now polluted with the chemicals the company created — yet only chose to speak decades later. Humanizes some of the fear people may feel when faced with information that doesn’t seem believable and could have massive repercussions.
