They left everything (including their families) and began touring the country looking for followers who, they promised, would be carried away by UFOs. They dubbed themselves "Him and Her" (while the news media labeled them "Bo and Peep"). But their notoriety was short lived. The movement quickly went underground [emerging in 1995 as web site designers living communally near San Diego].
In his new book, UFO Cults and the New Millennium, Alnor comprehensively describes the rise and fall of the Heaven's Gate cult and the Solar Temple cult; both groups believed in UFOs and committed mass suicide. What causes such fanaticism? Do more UFO cults exist, and could the same devastating consequences result?
Alnor also describes the rise of UFO cults spurred on by a Hollywood-driven fascination with extraterrestrials. He focuses on the future, offering evidence that more bizarre occurrences are likely as the end of the millennium approaches.
William M. Alnor is president of Eastern Christian Outreach, Inc., Philadelphia; publisher of The Christian Sentinel magazine; teacher at Temple University; and pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Lehigh Valley. He is also the author of Heaven Can't Wait: A Survey of Alleged Trips to the Other Side and Soothsayers of the Second Advent.
