A Republican candidate for congress in Florida claims she was abducted by aliens as a child. Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera is a candidate for Florida's 27th district which includes much of Miami. Her comments, which recently resurfaced, originally appeared in a 2009 taped interview with the Spanish language station America TeVe. Since then multiple other videos have appeared where she goes into greater detail regarding her other worldly experiences.





“I went in,” Rodriguez Aguilera said in the interview. “There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship – not like airplanes.”





Rodriguez Aguilera claims that the abductions started when she was seven years old, and that she is still contact with the aliens who abducted her via telepathic communication. The aliens she describes are similar to the so called 'Nordic' race, often described by alleged abductees. Purported witnesses to sightings of these beings claim that they are tall, blonde and similar to humans in most respects.





In her story Rodriguez Aguilera claims that the aliens who abducted her told her that a cave located in Malta contained upwards of 30,000 non-human skulls in addition to claims about the Earth's “energy center”





A statement released by her campaign draws a connection between her beliefs and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan both of whom claimed to have viewed UFOs at different times in their lives. Neither of whom claimed to have seen, nor communicated with, actual extraterrestrials however.





Unsubstantiated claims regarding the paranormal are not uncommon from minor political candidates however Rodriguez Aguilera is no outsider or perennial candidate. Prior to the surfacing of her claims, she was considered a legitimate contender, with strong family ties to the larger Republican Party.
