VIDEO - ALIENS LATEST: 'ET SKULLS hidden in Malta' - Mike Pence ally in alien abduction claim | Weird | News | Express.co.uk

Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera from Miami says she was taken aboard an alien spaceship during the bizarre encounter.

Ms Rodriguez Aguilera, 59, who is running to replace retiring Miami Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, claims to have communicated with aliens telepathically since the strange incident.

It all began when she was just seven years old, when three blonde, big-bodied beings visited her, she claimed.

There were two females and a male, she said.

She recounted the event during a 2009 television interview, which has resurfaced after she ran for office.

She said: “I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes.”

Conspiracy theorists believed remains of UFO spacecrafts were stored at Area 51, and that government scientists were researching the remains to engineer the aliens technology

Ms Rodriguez Aguilera said the alien beings reminded her of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, with arms outstretched.

She explained how the aliens gave her a wealth of information about earth, including:

▪ There are 30,000 skulls — “different from humans” — in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta

▪ Africa contains the world’s “energy centre”

▪ The Coral Castle, a limestone tourist attraction in South Miami-Dade, is an ancient Egyptian pyramid.

▪ “God is a universal energy.”

Ms Rodriguez Aguilera was asked about her encounter by The Miami Herald, but she appears to have been reluctant to go into further detail.

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.”

She was a Doral council woman from 2012-14, serving as the city's first economic developer.

She has also taught leadership seminars at universities.
