Miami congressional candidate claims she was visited by aliens
Source: The Hill
A candidate for a Florida congressional seat claims she was visited by aliens and has communicated with them several times throughout her life.
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera said in a 2009 television appearance that she went up into the spaceship when she was 7 years old, according to McClatchy.
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 the interview, a video of which was posted to YouTube and first reported on by McClatchy.
She said she was visited by three large, blonde beings at the time. One was male and two were female.

And it didn't happen by accident.

(23,400 posts)Had she been a Democrat, the healine would've probably read: 'Democrat vying for Miami congressional seat claims she was visited by aliens.'
Note that she would be merely "vying" for the congressional seat - i.e. not a real candidate that should be taken seriously.
That said, I more or less believe her. I've never had a close encounter with any off-world beings (that I know of); but the idea has never seemed strange to me in any way. I find it harder to believe that we are, indeed, all alone out here.

So a much more advanced civilization uses rocks for steering.....I wonder if the round seats had seat belts? Don't wanna mess those pretty blonde faces in case of sudden stop you know.
