A Republican Congressional candidate in Miami has described a close encounter with aliens when she was young and a visit to their spaceship.

Doral, Florida's first economic director and former city county member, Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, 59, discussed her extraterrestrial experience in a 2009 TV interview, according to the Miami Herald.

Rodriguez Aguilera explained that “three blond, big-bodied beings” visited her when she was 7 years old, and “communicated telepathically.”

"I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes," she said in an interview with a local Spanish-language station, America TeVe.

She also said during the interview that there are 30,000 "inhuman" skulls in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta, that the world's "energy center" is in Africa, and that the "Coral Castle" attraction in Miami-Dade is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid.

Rodriquez Aguilera announced her 2018 campaign to replace Miami Republican, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in August.

When the Miami Herald spoke with Rodriquez Aguilera on Friday about her close encounter with aliens she did not mention her personal story, but said U.S. presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter "publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects," and that Stephen Hawking "stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone."
