A Republican congressional candidate from Florida has made some out-of-this-world claims.

Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, one of nearly a dozen candidates hoping to win the U.S. House seat currently held by retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, claims she was abducted by aliens who reminded her of Jesus Christ, according to newly resurfaced interviews.

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, according to the interviews cited by the Miami Herald.

In the interviews, Rodriguez Aguilera claims she was taken at the age of 7 by three tall, blond space people who have communicated with her telepathically at times since.

She said the aliens reminded her of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.
