By now, having read the enclosed press release and the Earth Exit by Statements, you should be aware that we have exited our vehicles just as we entered them. Also enclosed is a list of the others who are receiving this press release, as well as a document describing our location. The Internet account information, however, we sent only to you,  MRC/SRF, and OSC. We are hoping that with your computer skills, you might choose to assist us in this capacity for whatever length of time feels right for you. We are particularly interested in having you upload the files on the third diskette entitled "Earth Exit, final press release, and index page" to all three of our web sites. Instructions to do this have been written up by SRR/VRN and are included in this packet. We are also interested in someone following through with keeping a check on the site located on the Romanian ISP listed on the account information sheet. 

      We did upload the site to his server last Thursday and we also FedEx ed the Romanian webmaster the same set of diskettes as you received containing the entire site along with a press release and related documents. We have prepaid two months of web hosting on this Romanian server under the name of Sister Michael Remi. The FTP and telenet access routine is detailed on the account information sheet. The webmaster s name is Ionut Muntean, telephone number **********. He speaks and writes English well enough for us to communicate with him, and seems to be an agreeable fellow. All he knew about us however, before now, is that we were a small Interfaith monastery  with some "non-traditional" views. So we're not sure what his response will be to this most recent event. 

       We are hoping, of course, to use this site as an alternate way to access our information in case the authorities shut down our sites in the States. The URL for this site is www.heavensgate. deltanet.roknet.ro-the server is unix machine. If you run into any questions regarding the  unix server, a friend of some class members named Chris Milius(he s on the list we sent you), runs an ISP in Tennessee, which currently houses the heavensgate.com site. He s very unix knowledgeable, and we suspect he'll be more than happy to help out. 

        Thanks for your help with this. 

      Also we want to make it clear that we're certainly not asking you to do this if,  after receiving this information, circumstances make it too difficult or other options seem more appropriate to you. We want you to feel free to exercise any available options with whatever timing feels right for your own next step.  

      We have listed Simon Boyce as our preferred media contact. He recently requested to use us in a major documentary about UFO's and paranormal (he works for the BBC, however he and his crew are currently working out of the CBC office-Canadian Broadcasting Company-in New York). Although we declined the interview, he tried to make the point with us on several occasions that their intention was to be as objective as possible. So, whether or not this possible (for the media to remain objective) at least his frame of mind attempts to lean in that direction. His producer/director, Debbie Geller, at a later time made another sincere attempt to try to convince us to participate in their documentary. So, for this reason, we are recommending that they be involved to some degree, in the  coverage of this event, that is, if their attitude seems to remain somewhat objective and you find working with them not too difficult. Of  course, this is  contingent upon whether or not you should choose to say anything to the media on our behalf. We would hope that the public would  have an opportunity for more thorough knowledge of who we are and what we're about.  
          Hopefully, you will be able to work together with MRC/SRF, OSC(Oscody), JHN, and NEO (who is currently working for a company in LA called InterAct Entertainment). There is also a recent correspondent from Germany by the name of Soeren, who has been trying to make it to the US to meet with us. OSC is in contact with this individual and has offered housing for him at the Phoenix satellite. We gave instructions to OSC that if Soeren continues to try to support us and to move in our direction, that he can be included in events that transpire to whatever degree feels right. Soeren has been through quite a lot recently in his attempts to come our way, and DO thinks that  he deserves our/your help if he still wants it.  

      Also, it's OK if you want to ask PYP if he would like to participate in any way. 

      We're probably not thinking of all  the things we need to pass on, but if you ask TI and DO for help, as you know, you will get all you need and then some. 

        Good Luck. 

        Your Friends 

Note: Due to time limitations and less than professional equipment, the quality is rather poor on the enclosed videotapes, and for this we apologize. Some of the individuals on the list are receiving SVHS tapes and some will be receiving the standard VHS format-our intention is for those SVHS tapes to serve primarily as masters for making further copies, which we are certainly encouraging. (RKK, you have the original master, we thought you would know best how to duplicate the tapes and where to distribute them for widest  coverage). These tapes can be sent to the media or wherever you feel would be appropriate. However, in case you don't know this already, the SVHS tapes will not play properly on a standard VHS player/recorder, you will need to view them on an SVHS machine. 

Additional Note: We suspect that the authorities will take an immediate interest in your whereabouts - your plans in relationship to the action that we took - and we are asking that you be cautious and aware of this for your own protection.  
  
 

     By now, having read the enclosed press release, you should be aware that we have exited our vehicles just as we entered them. Also included are two videotapes of DO and the Class, a list of the others who are receiving this final press release and "Earth Exit Statements by Students," as well as a document describing our location. The Internet information, however, we sent only to you, RKK, and OSC. 

      Enclosed is a key to our storage units which we prefer remain confidential to you and whomever on the list above would be most helpful to you -we suspect RKK and Osc would likely be a big help-but including others would be OK as well, whatever your strategy permits. We put into storage items that we would prefer the authorities not have access to. You can do with those items whatever feels right to you. The only exception to this is some exercise equipment which belongs to our landlord, Sam, and we suspect he will want at some point. The storage units are # ***(use key *** for this unit) and #*** (key ***), located at Private Storage Systems, 2421 Barham, Escondido, CA. The passcode to get through the gate is ********-the related contract/paperwork is also included in this package, and we have attached a map that further pinpoints this location.  

     We also have a 20 foot yellow truck in a separate storage unit, and we think that RKK would be a good choice to  retrieve it-it s big enough to haul all of what s in storage, we believe. The truck storage paperwork is also included.  

       On another note, we uploaded the heavensgate site to an ISP in Romania, and we also FedEx ed the Romanian webmaster the diskettes containing the entire site along with the diskette containing the final press release and the Earth Exit Statements by Students (these final statements are on a separate disk which hopefully  RKK will be able to upload, however the Romanian fellow will have the entire sit on diskette as back-up.) We have prepaid two months of webhosting on this Romanian sever under the name of Sister Michael Remi. The webmaster s name is Ionut Muntean, telephone number *******. He  speaks and writes English well enough for us to communicate with him, and seems to be an agreeable fellow. All he knew about us however, before now, is that we were a small Interfaith monastery with some "non-traditional" views. So we re not sure what his response will be to this most recent event. 

        We are hoping, of course to use this site as an alternate way to access our information in case the authorities shut down our sites in the States. The URL for this site is www.heavensgate.deltanet.roknet.ro. 

      As you may have noticed, we have listed Simon Boyce as our preferred media contact.

OSC is in contact with Soeren and has offered Soeren housing at his apartment. We gave instructions to OSC that if Soeren continues to try to support us and to move in our direction,  that he can be included in events that transpire to whatever degree feels right. Soeren  has been through quite a lot recently in his attempts to come our way, and DO thinks that he deserves our/your help if he still wants it.  

       We also asked OSC to register  the Heaven s Gate book with the Library of Congress and that if he needed any funds to accomplish this, that you would cover it out of the project funds that you have on hand.  

       Also, we want  to make it clear that we re certainly not asking you to do these tasks if, after receiving this information, circumstances make it too difficult or other options seem more appropriate for you. We want you to feel free to exercise any available options with whatever timing feels right for your own next step. No doors are closed to you.  

        We re probably not thinking of all the things we need to pass on, but if you ask TI and DO for help, as you know, you will get all you need and then some. Our hearts are with you and we appreciate your help on all this. 

         Good Luck.

URGENT Note: Please drop the  letter in the mail addressed to our landlord, Sam, as soon as you feel comfortable that he will not get that letter before you have a chance to get to the  address  listed in the "Location" document.  

You are about to inherit what s left of our purser task, to do with as you choose. We are arranging to get some funds to all of you (RKK,OSC&MRC/SRF) from what we have on hand, but we know that there is no  way we can pay you for whatever efforts you may or may not choose to contribute in collecting our loose ends and disseminating information about what actually happened here. 

FUNDS WHICH MAY COME IN AFTER WE LEAVE 

We don t know if you ll actually be able to get any of these funds, but if it is possible, we d like these funds to be available to those who still support the class and want to help get our information out. 

We had two clients who still owe healthy amounts to our company,  Higher Source Contract Enterprises. For security reasons (we aren t sure how public MRC/SRF s P.O. may become), we are asking these clients to make their final checks to OSC and mail them directly to OSC , but these companies may or may not cooperate. Should these clients send checks to our Higher Source P.O., the mail should be forwarded to our box with MRC/SRF, and if choose, you could deposit those  checks in our Higher Source bank account via mail, and use the signed checks that we are sending you to get the money out. If they pay OSC directly, then hopefully he can cash the checks and divvy  the funds up with others. There are three significant amounts still owed to us.

Contact: Spencer C. Elliot, Phone: 619-631-5280, Fax: 619-631-5285  
(Spencer knew us as June, Golden, Sonny, Stewart &Rio at Higher Source)  
 Amounts Owed:     $4,750.50 (due 3/28/97) 
                               $9,400.00 (due 3/14/97) 
Update: We  decided not  to ask QuikCap to send a check to OSC. If they send a check, it  will be to Higher Source.

Contact: Stan Babowicz, Phone: 602-470-0705, Fax: 602-470-0763 
(Stan knew us as Melinda and Sonny of Higher Source) 

Amount Owed:        $3750.00(Overdue since about Dec. 96, but we subcontracted for a client who has been slow to pay. Stan has been expecting payment any day, and if  he does get the funds, we believe he will in turn pay us.)  
 The other source of income we expect is from tax refunds. We provided you a Power of Attorney for anyone expecting a tax refund, and a list of refunds expected, but we don t know if you ll be able to successfully cash any checks or not-or even if you ll want to try. 

You can also use whatever is in the TELAH bank account, which we think is about $1430. 

POSTAL BOXES 

We provided you a list of all our P.O. s. We closed out a couple of P.O. s (a U.S. Post Office box in Rancho Santa Fe, and a P.O. for OLL & TLL in Colorado Springs). We sent letters to four P.O. s asking them to forward weekly to the box we have with you in Phoenix, and we gave them forwarding funds for this purpose. A fifth P.O., ( Del Mar Hts P.O. ) we did nothing with, since it had little mail going into it. The sixth P.O., the Scottsdale P.O. aslo was not forwarded. Instead, we are giving you the keys to the Scottsdale P.O. in case you choose to stop by and pick up the mail. Other than the checks you might get through our Higher Source P.O., we doubt that there will be much if interest to you in our mail. 

POWER OF ATTORNEY/ID S 

 We are sending you a comprehensive Power of Attorney for anyone expecting a tax refund, or who has major items ( cars, credit cards, insurance, rent, etc. ) in your name. We don t  know if these will be accepted by those you deal with, or if you ll have any reason to use them. We also  sent you a list of the legal names of all the individuals  in the class along with their basic information and a copy of everyone s passport or ID. 

BANK ACCOUNTS 

We have only two bank accounts of possible interest to you-business accounts for Higher Source Contract Enterprises and TELAH Services. 

BILLS 

We do not expect or want you to pay any bills. We ve left extra funds with our landlord, the credit card companies, and anyone else that we thought might have reason to think we night owe them money. We even filed  all of our tax returns for 1996 and paid any taxes that anyone should owe this year. (Copies of our tax returns and all supporting documents have been left in our craft for the government.) We did our best to pay anyone and everyone. If we missed something, it was unintentional, and our bills certainly shouldn t be a concern for those of you feel led to continue here. 

VOICEMAILS 

We sent letters canceling all of our voicemails as of 4/1/97. You shouldn t need to be concerned about any of these. 

INSURANCE/REGISTRATIONS 

We are sending you a list of our cars and basic related information. We didn t cancel insurance or registration for the cars ( and we don t think you need to ). We figured that as cars are sold or re-registered, this issue will take care of itself. . 

PHONE CARDS 

We have a couple of pre-paid phone cards that still have some funds on them if you d like to use  them. ( We used for calling from pay phones.) To use them dial ******** and enter the account  number.  The account numbers are: 

********  Balance about $96 
**********Balance about $42 

May the force be with you! 

Pursers (SNG,SLV,MLL,GLD)              
 

If you choose to accept this mission hopefully this note thoroughly explains all you need to know about the keys/titles/bills of sale for the cars we ve been using. We all thank you very much for any and all the help you have given us-we appreciate it, and the Next Level appreciates it, more than you know. 

What we ve done  is to take all the cars to the San Diego Airport Parking Co., the location of which is shown on their flyer and further clarified on the marked Mapsco pages. Note that there  is free shuttle service from and to the San Diego Airport. Also enclosed are one set of keys, the signed title, and a signed Bill of Sale for each car. The Olds has two Bills of Sale, in case it matters  what state the Bill of Sale must be for ( since the title and registration are in different states). We are hoping that you will solicit help from Oscar ( OSCODY ), RKK, FLX/ABL, and others as you need it. 

NOTE 

Whoever picks up the car(s) will need to present the enclosed claim ticket and have  the car keys with them. There is someone on duty 24 hours a day and you can pick up the cars at any time. We ve paid for one month s parking to give you plenty of time to make whatever arrangements you need to. The claim checks are in the name of Mark King. The cars designated are written in at the top of the claim check. 

It s up to you how the vehicles are distributed, but the following suggestions were ok d by Links: 

* White Ford van (X-van) and dark blue Mercury Sable (S-car) to MRC?SRF. We thought you might be able to use X-van to help shuttle things around for your business. 
  
* The white Lincoln Continental (LC-car) to RKK. 
  
* The silver Mazda van (M-van) and tan Oldsmobile (O-car) to OSC. We thought if Soeren comes that it would be helpful for him to have use of a car-perhaps the Olds would be suitable for his use. 
  
* Maybe  you could contact NEO, JHN, FLX/ABL or possibly PYP to see if any of them want  the blue Ford van ( Blue van) or any of the cars that you, RKK, or  OSC don t want, or if they could use the proceeds from a sale-you can work it out with them as you see fit.  
  

Another set of keys, as well as a list of vehicles, a copy of this note, and copies of the paperwork are coming to you in another package, just in case something happens to one package. Some cars may have a travel bag in them-be sure to get the bags and their purser contents. 

Thanks again, 
The Class          

      Well, it s difficult to know where to start since you know quite a bit about us, yet it s been through the acquaintance of only a few classmembers. Those of us who do know you, never felt it was sheer happenstance that our paths seemed to cross as they did. And we re hoping that  your association with us won t put you in too awkward a situation, especially by hosting the heavensgate website. ( Enclosed is a diskette containing the contents of the site, which we are providing you as insurance and back-up.) 

      Enclosed is also a list of others who are receiving this information simultaneously-many of these are individuals who have spent varying degrees of time in the class and who, for individual reasons, found themselves outside the class at this time. 

     We believe you know Rio who is now working at InterAct Entertainment in LA designing websites. Their server currently houses the Kushner-Locke website ( one of the owners of InterAct, Nick Matzorkis, is friends with Peter  Locke. Nick also knows us-who we are-and we have done quite a bit of work for his company). 

       We re not aware of anyone else on the list that you know personally-but  we suspect that they ll all be quite cooperative and helpful to you.  

      Chuck Humphrey is a computer programmer and all-around computer person who will be  keeping up with our site on a Romanian unix server as well as uploading to the heavensgate sites the final press release and the Exit Statements by Students. If for some reason there is a delay in the upload to the site on your server, feel free to go ahead and do it. All the  files that need to be replaced and/or added are on a single diskette labeled "Earth Exit, final press release, and index page." We mentioned to Chuck to contact you if he had any questions regarding unix-we thought you d be happy to help him out if he needs it. 

      We obtained space on this Romanian server to house a mirror  site of heavensgate. The URL is www.heavensgate.deltanet.roknet.ro-hopefully the webmaster can withstand the controversy. This Romanian fellow knows very little about us until such time as he receives this FedEx with press release, except that we are a small Interfaith monastery with some " non-traditional" views. His name is Ionut and he was quite agreeable when we spoke to him on the telephone, but that was before he was aware of our history or of  events to follow. 

        Well, here s to you. Thanks for your help throughout the years. We do suspect, however, that our paths are likely to cross yet again-we ll see. 

Your friends, 

June, Steele, Sonny, Nick, Evan, Otis, and Geoff
