A Florida candidate for Congress said Monday she stands by her claims she was abducted to an alien spaceship at age 7 but that the incident shouldn't detract from what she's done here on Earth since then.

Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera has claimed in past Spanish TV network appearances, most recently in 2011, that she was taken aboard a ship with three blonde creatures that resembled Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue.
"I don't exactly know what happened," she told The Associated Press on Monday. "I believe it is real. But I was 7 years old. It was an experience I had a thousand years ago."

Since those television appearances, Rodriguez Aguilera has served as a council member in the city of Doral, where she was appointed vice mayor. She also teaches leadership at Miami Dade College and runs a consulting firm, Bettinara Enterprises. She is one of five Republicans running to replace Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., when she retires at the end of next year.

Rodriguez Aguilera declined to go into details on what was said in her 2009 appearance on America TeVe, where she claimed the extraterrestrials told her "the center of the world's energy is in Africa." She then talks about 30,000 non-human skulls discovered in a cave on the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Rodriguez Aguilera said news reports were portraying "in a negative way an experience I had when I was 7 and ignores everything I did after that."

She sounds downright sane nowadays. Beam me up if old.

Probably was going for the U.S. version of Georgia/Alabama/Florida

Florida is always the common denominator.

What's the bet she believes in aliens but not in human driven climate change.

Lets hope she earmarks funds for NASA.

Of course she's a Republican. I don't know what is at the end of this rabbit hole, but I'd rather not find out.
