FEMA Leader Claims Firsthand Experience with ‘Teleportation’

Gregg Phillips is a controversial political figure now serving at FEMA. He leads the agency’s Office of Response and Recovery.

His appointment began late last year. As a presidential appointee, he did not require Senate confirmation.

Background and controversies

Phillips is known as a far-right activist. He has promoted conspiracy theories and used violent rhetoric toward opponents.

He is also an election denier. Phillips played a central role in the discredited “2000 Mules” project.

Claims of teleportation and related accounts

He has publicly described involuntary teleportation incidents. One account placed him at a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from his starting point.

On a podcast last year, he said, “Teleporting is no fun,” and added, “It was real.” He also recounted a separate episode where his vehicle was lifted and moved several miles.

Spiritual context and personal circumstances

Phillips connected the incidents to a “spiritual journey.” He said this occurred while he was undergoing cancer treatments.

He referenced biblical examples of supernatural events to explain his experiences. Phillips later said some of his comments were taken “out of context.”

Public statements and reactions

In social posts, he defended his claims. He wrote phrases such as “Haters gonna hate” and “I know what I’ve experienced.”

One message resembled a poem and mentioned people ridiculing what they do not understand. It also referenced Jesus Christ rising from the dead.

Reporting and ongoing attention

CNN reported these accounts last month and followed up on his continued defense. Phillips has maintained his role at FEMA while making these statements public.

Observers note the juxtaposition of his federal position and prior activism. The disclosures have prompted renewed attention to his record and public claims.
