Over the years, you’ve likely read about that time a Florida Woman tried to impregnate her slave with her boyfriend’s sperm.
Or the time a Florida Woman was so desperate for Chicken McNuggets that she hoped to exchange oral sex for this fast food delicacy.
But this is a new one, even for the much-maligned and often-controversial Florida Woman:
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera claims she was abducted by aliens at the age of seven.
Oh, and she’s running for Congress!
A one-time council member from Doral, Aguilera previously described her alleged interaction with extraterrestrials in multiple interviews uncovered by The Miami Herald.
The politician says two large-bodied females and one male visited her when she was a child and have communicated telepathically with her multiple times since then.
In a 2009 Q&A, Aguilera outlined “going up” into a spaceship with these beings and spending time as their captive/guest.
“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship – not like airplanes,” Rodriguez Aguilera said.
In separate videos posted to YouTube many years ago – one by local Spanish-language station America TeVe and another by a political critic with the user name DoralGirl26 – Rodriguez Aguilera talked in detail about these experiences.
She said the alien beings reminded her of the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, with arms outstretched.
As for what she learned from these aliens?
– There are 30,000 skulls (“different from humans”) in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta.
– The world’s “energy center” is located in Africa.
– The Coral Castle, a limestone tourist attraction South Miami-Dade, is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid.
– Simply, "God is a universal energy."
Aguilera isn’t really denying this story, either.
She’s running to replace retiring Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and responded to The Herald’s request for comment as follows:
“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.”
She also thinks the newspaper is out to get her.
“The Miami Herald article is clearly an attack piece,” Aguilera told The Washington Post, adding:
“I’m a person who owns up to who I am.
"And this is just an experience that I had. It has nothing to do with who I am and what I have shown in the past 40 years and what a positive role model I’ve been to the community.”
We’d say she has no chance of winning, but… you’ve seen who is in the White House, right?
