Abstract: We prove that the generic element of the fifth secant variety $$ of the Grassmannian of planes of $mathbb{P}^9$ has exactly two decompositions as a sum of five projective classes of decomposable skew-symmetric tensors. {We show that this, {together with $Gr(mathbb{P}^3,mathbb{P}^8)$, is the only non-identifiable case} among the non-defective secant varieties $sigm{a}_s(Gr(mathbb{P}^k,mathbb{P}^n))$ for any $n<14$. In the same range for $n$, we classify all the weakly defective and all tangentially weakly defective secant varieties of any Grassmannians.} We also show that the dual variety $(sigm{a}_3(Gr(mathbb{P}^2,mathbb{P}^7)){)}^{vee}$ of the variety of 3-secant planes of the Grassmannian of $mathbb{P}^{2}subsetmathbb{P}^7$ is $sigm{a}_2(Gr(mathbb{P}^2,mathbb{P}^7))$ the variety of bi-secant lines of the same Grassmannian. The proof of this last fact has a very interesting physical interpretation in terms of measurement of the entanglement of a system of 3 identical fermions, the state of each of them belonging to a 8-th dimensional "Hilbert" space.
