Gregg Phillip....FEMA official (up in the chain) gave a interview...he was on some phone, and BAM....he was picked-up...teleported over to some Waffle House forty miles away.
I watched the interview five or six times.
If you asked me to grade it on 'truth' (1-to-10).....I'd rank it a '3'...mostly because he can't substantiate any of it.
So I went to the destination topic. If I were dealing with aliens, and they were teleportation-crazy....then yeah, I'd be thrilled to end up at a Waffle House, and probably have the All-Star-Special ($14.99).
But the reality of this....sitting there at the Waffle House....I'd have to call the wife afterwards and ask her to come to pick me up. She'd have questions....mostly over my drinking or what buddy dropped me off there. The alien-teleportation story wouldn't work.
As you dig into the story....the FEMA guy was sitting in his car....when the teleportation took place (his story). So you'd wonder....why didn't the car teleport?
The problem in this story....if you were in Alabama....folks would ask fifty additional questions:
1 Were you traveling on highway 99, between Cider-Town and Harper-Town?
2. What kind of attire were you wearing....Sunday clothing, or your Braves T-short with shorts?
3. Did this occur after dark?
4. After you got there in one-piece....did you praise Jesus?
5. Did you and the aliens discuss this destination before it took place, or was this just a goofy 'prank' by the aliens?
6. Was the Waffle House next to a strip-club?
7. Aren't you fearful that they might teleport you to California (hell-hole of the Earth)?
8. Did all your 'pieces' arrive with your at the Waffle House?
9. Were you on some drugs when this took place?
10. Did you talk to the aliens about teleporting you back home after the breakfast?
Yeah, the story sounds like something you'd make up.
