It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s Miami congressional candidate Bettina Rodriquez Aguilera taking a ride in a spaceship with extraterrestrials.

Rodriguez Aguilera is a Republican who is running to replace Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, but she might have some baggage holding her back. In 2009, Rodriguez Aguilera spoke about her experience with aliens when she was seven years-old in a televised interview.

In the interview, she described the beings that took her up in the spaceship as reminiscent of the Christ the Redeemer statute in Brazil. “I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes,” Rodriguez Aguilera recounted.

Since her original experience, they have telepathically communicated with her. Her experiences have imparted some knowledge on the now-candidate:
– There are 30,000 skulls in Malta, but they are “different from humans”
– Africa is the world’s “energy center”
– The Coral Castle is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid
– “God is a universal energy”

The aliens also spoke about Isis, but not in enough depth to distinguish if they were discussing the terrorist organization or the Egyptian Goddess.

When the Miami Herald revisited Rodriguez Aguilera’s experiences, she responded:
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.

With Area 51 and any insight on the possibility of life outside Planet Earth still shrouded in mystery, maybe Rodriguez Aguilera is lightyears ahead of all us.
