Greg Little, Palantir Senior Counselor and former Department of Defense official, shares an anecdote regarding a former team workspace inside the Pentagon.
“So I had a team in the Pentagon that worked in a room called the alien autopsy room. That was the name of the room. And it got shut down because the tour guides of the Pentagon would come to do actually run by and show the alien autopsy room. And people actually thought there were real autopsies of aliens occurring there. And so the secretary of defense Had to write an edict to ban anyone from saying alien autopsy room in the Pentagon.”
