...final act of metamorphosis or separation from the human kingdom is the 'disconnect' or separation from the human physical container or body," they wrote. "We will rendezvous in the 'clouds' (a giant mothership) for our briefing and journey to the Kingdom of the Literal Heavens." Members believed that the Hale-Bopp comet, which visited Earth last week for the first time in 2,400 years, was a "marker" that the mothership had come to free them from the "Human Evolutionary Level."

Actress Nichelle Nichols, whose brother Thomas ended his life at Rancho Santa Fe at the age of 59, made the case for respect and tolerance eloquently: "My brother was highly intelligent and a beautifully gentle man," she told CNN.

"We fully desire, expect, and look forward to boarding a spacecraft from the Next Level very soon (in our physical bodies)," reads the "Heaven's Gate" website. "Hale-Bopp's approach is the "marker' we've been waiting for. . . We are happily prepared to leave "this world' and go with Ti's crew." That craft was to be lurking in the wake of the Hale-Bopp Comet, apparently ready to take willing members along on a passage to bliss...
