Chuck Shramek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chuck Shramek (1950-2000) was a Houston-area radio personality.
Shramek is best known as the amateur astronomer who photographed a bright "Saturn-like object", adjacent to Comet Hale-Bopp. Although some claim it is an ordinary star, it generated considerable interest after Shramek called the Art Bell radio show, culminating in the Heaven's Gate mass suicide.
