This tract is by The  Laymen's Home Missionary Movement is one of the offshoots of the Jehovah's Witnesses that formed after the death of JW founder Charles Taze Russell. I don't know if they also knock on your door and bore you to death with their preaching.

This undated tract posits that flying saucers are not swamp gas, hoaxes, or extraterrestrial vehicles but are one of the supernatural demonic manifestations of the "great signs and wonders" that foretell The Second Coming.

This line of argument is similar to that put forth by Leon Bates in his radio broadcasts and the book Projection for Survival (mercilessly lampooned in Blab! number 4 by Daniel Clowes in the story "666: A Preview of the Coming Apocalypse." We will deal with tracts by Bates soon.

The tract is four pages with no pictures or illustrations and it full of Bible verses. Pretty weak stuff.

Here's Daniel Clowes on Leon Bates. I used this illustration as an inspiration for a panel in my Chick tract parody "Donald Trump Is The Antichrist."
