A U.S. House candidate from Florida is not backing down from her claims she was abducted by aliens.

Bettina Rodriguez Aguilar, a Republican, is seeking election to the post being vacated by retiring GOP Congressperson Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. She is one of nine candidates in the race and recently received the endorsement of the Miami Herald.

"It has nothing to do with what I have done. It happened when I was 7 years old," Rodriguez Aguilar told The Herald about her abduction claims.

Rodriguez Aguilar claims she was taken on board a spaceship as a young girl by blond extraterrestrials who resembled Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Miami Herald reported. The aliens told her the center of the world's energy is Africa and that thousands of non-human skulls had been found in a cave on Malta.

Rodriguez Aguilar claims she has been in touch with aliens telepathically since her abduction and saw another UFO when she was 17.

A former Doral, Florida City Council member, Rodriguez Aguilar now runs a business training woman from other countries how to run for political office. She is one of nine Republicans seeking the seat, with the winner facing one of five Democrats, including former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala.

Florida candidate says alien abduction doesn’t define her

MIAMI U.S. House candidate Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera has a long list of accomplishments to bolster her campaign in Florida. But she is perhaps best known for claiming that she was abducted by space aliens as a child.

Rodriguez Aguilera is a longshot in the race for the Miami-area seat being vacated by retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Yet last weekend, the Miami Herald endorsed her for the GOP nomination in the Tuesday primary out of a field of nine candidates.

In an interview, Rodriguez Aguilera said she is grateful for the endorsement and that her tale of kidnapping by aliens does not define her.

"It has nothing to do with what I have done. It happened when I was 7 years old," she said. "I am so proud of the Herald and what they did."

SIGN UPRodriguez Aguilera says she was taken aboard a spaceship as a young girl by blond extraterrestrials who resembled the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. She says they told her that the "center of the world's energy is Africa" and that thousands of non-human skulls were once discovered in a cave on the Mediterranean island of Malta.

She has said she witnessed paranormal activity since then and saw a UFO at age 17. She also said she has been in touch with the aliens telepathically long after the abduction.

Even if it's hard to believe there's a starman waiting in the sky, Rodriguez Aguilera won't back down.

"I stick to my guns when I believe in something," she said.

In its Sunday editorial , the Herald reported that two of the leading Republican candidates — former Miami-Dade commissioner Bruno Barreiro and Spanish-language television journalist Maria Elvira Salazar — did not take part in the paper's endorsement process. And beyond Rodriguez Aguilera, the editorial found the remaining candidates unprepared or unqualified.

"We realize that Rodriguez Aguilera is an unusual candidate," the editorial noted, adding that the paper was impressed with her "boots-on-the-ground ideas and experience."

Rodriguez Aguilera is a former City Council member in the suburb of Doral who is the daughter of a Cuban political prisoner. She previously was a social worker, ombudsman at the Miami-Dade county manager's office and now runs a business training women in other countries how to run for political office.

"The theme of my campaign is people above politics. I train people around the world about democracy," she said. "I have the most experience. I can go in there and start working just as I have all my life."

Whoever emerges from the GOP field Tuesday will face one of five Democratic candidates and the seat is considered one of the party's best chances for a switch from the GOP.

Polls show the leader on the Democratic side is former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, who was also president of the University of Miami and University of Wisconsin. The Herald, however, endorsed state Rep. David Richardson over Shalala.

MIAMI U.S. House candidate Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera has a long list of accomplishments to bolster her campaign in Florida. But she is perhaps best known for claiming that she was abducted by space aliens as a child.

Hm, wow! Yeah, she is best known for being a nut job.

An R who is all in for more immigration.....

The second item is to initiate the process for defining Doral as an EB5 Regional Center. This is awarded by the USCIS to public or private entities that are involved in promoting domestic capital growth, job creation, improved regional productivity and economic growth. Participants in this program are entrepreneurs who wish to obtain permanent resident status. Several U.S. municipalities are EB5 Regional Centers, like Dallas, TX, Hollywood Beach, FL and Lake Buena Vista, FL and more than 200 others across the country. Bettina has been working on this idea for several years and explains it simply: “This concept is not new, and exists in other cities. The city develops a business plan, the business plan is presented to the Department of Homeland Security and an agreement is reached. When that happens the entire city becomes a Regional Center for Immigration “. Based on the type of project and the amount of investment for developers who want to come and do projects in Doral, the development can become an EB5. It should generate local jobs and the amount of the investment may be $ 500,000 or $ 1 million depending on the area in which they perform. “The vision is that the entire city becomes an EB5 and developers can obtain permanent resident status for themselves and their families. We must be prepared to welcome immigrants and their investments”.
