Featuring Marshall on a simple set, preaching the doom of the human race, and only a select few that were willing to break all connections to their human ways would ascend.
How the fuck was this allowed on TV?
I'll never know.
But according to some, his charisma was on another level, as his resolve had never been greater speaking with great urgency, yet calm as he urged viewers that this was their final chance and it would soon be too late.
And a few viewers took him up on the offer, including a few former members that decided to rejoin.
But mostly the message fell on deaf ears.
So by 1996, Heaven's Gate had come down to around 39 members, potentially a few more as there are still some remaining today, though.
So astronomers discovered in 1995 that Comet Hale-Bopp was approaching Earth and would pass by closely sometime around 1996 to 1997.
And rumors also circulated that there was a mysterious object that was trailing just behind the comet.
And some believe this could be a UFO.
So when Marshall learned of this news,
He was naturally ecstatic, because this is going right along with his prophecy, because he had been preaching of a sign to come from the next level that told it was time to finally leave Earth.
And he was wholly convinced that Hale-Bopp was that sign, and the rumored tailing object was the long-awaited spacecraft.
So Heaven's Gate triumphantly updated their website, still visible to this day, by the way, to declare, Hale-Bopp's approach is the marker we've been waiting for.
The time for the arrival of the spacecraft from the level above human to take us home to their world in the literal heavens.
Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion.
Graduation from the human evolutionary level.
We are happily prepared to leave this world and go with T's crew."
So this window of ascension had arrived at last and the Earth's recycling would soon begin and the only way to survive was to leave with them.
So the group's excitement was at an all-time high because years of sacrifice and disciplined living was going to finally pay off, or so they thought.
