A Republican congressional candidate from Miami says she has been on an alien spaceship and extraterrestrials communicate with her telepathically, McClatchy reports.
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, 59, is running for the seat being vacated by retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
McClatchy reported she disclosed her alien encounters in two separate interviews in 2009, including one with a local Spanish-language station America TeVe. In one of the interviews, she described going into the alien spacecraft when she was just 7-years-old.
"I went in," she said. "There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes," Rodriguez Aguilera said. She said the beings reminded her of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro with outstretched arms.
And she claimed the aliens have been in touch telepathically with her several times since then, McClatchy said.
She later issued a statement, but did not mention the contact, McClatchy reported. However, she said:
"For years people, including Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone.
"I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe."
