39 People Killed Themselves Waiting for a UFO | Heaven's Gate Cult

Описание: 39 People Killed Themselves Waiting for a UFO | Heaven's Gate Cult

In March 1997, police discovered 39 bodies in a San Diego mansion. All wearing Nike shoes. All covered with purple shrouds. All with packed bags next to their beds. They believed they were boarding a spaceship hiding behind a comet. This is the true story of Heaven's Gate, the UFO cult that convinced educated adults to abandon everything and wait for a spacecraft that never came.

Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles started as two ordinary people searching for meaning. They ended up leading 39 people to their deaths. But the most disturbing part? Heaven's Gate still exists. The website is still active. Surviving members still believe. And they're still waiting for that spaceship.

This is the complete story of how a music teacher and a nurse created one of the most infamous cults in American history, and why intelligent people chose to die for a belief in aliens.
