Island Realty
Do you have a favorite spot in Rhode Island ? I love my neighborhood where I live in Saunderstown . I love all the people who embrace the Narrow River . Anywhere paddling or kayaking or paddleboarding , swimming on any part of the river or the Narragansett Bay , I just love it . There is a breakfast spot I have come to absolutely love , the Rome Point Cafe . My favorite thing to do is to sit at the counter by myself on like a Wednesday . I meet the most interesting people on the face of the planet . One guy was in charge of baggage handling at T . F . Green and I was like , ‘ Oh , I used to work at NASA . I love aeronautics .’ And we had this whole conversation over it . The next time it was this guy who was like , ‘ I work at the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center at the reactor on the Bay Campus .’ And I was like , ‘ Are you kidding ? I ’ m the dean !’ I think from the minute I left [ Rhode Island ], I wanted to come back . I wanted to raise my son here . He loves it . He one day recently said to me , ‘ Mom , I ’ m so happy here . I just want to stay .’
Last year , you were selected to serve on a NASA panel studying unidentified anomalous phenomena , known to the rest of us as UFOs . What was that like ? There are so many people who believe or have witnessed something , and they don ’ t know what to do with it . [ There ’ s a ] stigma to reporting , whether you ’ re a commercial airline pilot or somebody who was just out in the dark and saw something . My inbox is full of people who will send me pictures and videos and things , and I just think , ‘ What is it that I can do for you ?’ I don ’ t know what it is . But to those people , I say this : I hear you and I see you . And my hope is with the report , the government will develop some kind of portal where you can report what you ’ ve seen and the powers that be who look at unidentified anomalous phenomena can examine these videos or pictures or reports using real data that are out there to try to help explain what was witnessed . Carl Sagan said it , right ? ‘ Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence .’ And without the data to explain this , I can just listen and say , ‘ I understand you believe you saw something or experienced something .’ That pathway to maybe having a portal to report in the future I think will be very important .
