THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY – Antarieans

According to Al Bielek and Val Valerian, the Antareans stationed as observers at the Montauk base looked exactly like ordinary people. That’s the entire claim. No reptilian eyes, no seven-foot giants, no time-manipulation abilities — those all came later, added on top of a one-line source that says the opposite of what they describe.

Name: Antarieans (also Antareans, Antarians)

AKA: None documented as a self-designation; “Antarian Observers” reflects their described role, not a name from the source

Location – Home System: Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio

Distance from Earth: Approximately 136 light-years — the real astronomical distance to Antares

Attitude: Described only as “observers,” per the source; no further behavioral detail given

Motives: Undocumented; the source describes their presence and role (observer) but not a stated purpose

Physical Appearance: Per Bielek and Valerian directly: they “look just like normal humans.” No reptilian features, slit pupils, or unusual coloring appear in this source.

Average Height: Not specified beyond “normal human” appearance
Average Weight: Undocumented
Body Temperature: Undocumented
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
Blood Pressure: Undocumented
Life Expectancy: Undocumented
Hair: Not specified beyond “normal human” appearance
Skin: Not specified beyond “normal human” appearance
Eyes: Not specified beyond “normal human” appearance; specifically not described as slit-pupiled or reptilian in this source
Sex: Undocumented

Other Physical Information: None documented beyond their described ordinary human appearance

Special Traits and Abilities: None documented in the source

Communication Type: Undocumented

Origin: Antares, constellation Scorpio

Life Form Type: Humanoid, described as indistinguishable from ordinary humans

Subspecies: Undocumented

Most Common Species: Undocumented

Level of Species: Undocumented; no civilizational rating appears in the source

Habits: Described only as serving in an observer role at the Montauk base, per the source

Transportation Type: Undocumented

Witnesses Reports: Al Bielek and Val Valerian, both figures associated with Montauk Project and Philadelphia Experiment claims, describe Antareans as normal-looking humans present as observers at the Montauk base. Neither Bielek’s nor Valerian’s broader claims have been independently verified. Bielek’s core credibility is tied to the Philadelphia Experiment story, whose original source — a merchant mariner using the name “Carlos Allende” — was identified by a 1980 Fate magazine investigation as having a documented history of psychiatric illness and fabricated claims. That doesn’t resolve whether any individual claim by Bielek is true or false, but it’s relevant context for weighing his testimony.

Special Features/Characteristics: Not to be confused with “Antarctican,” a separate, differently-sourced entry on this site referring to claimed subterranean Antarctica-based beings. The similarity between “Antarean” (from Antares) and “Antarctican” (from Antarctica) appears to have caused the two to be merged in earlier retellings; they are unrelated in their actual sourcing.

Summary/Description: A minimally documented type, per Al Bielek and Val Valerian, describing ordinary-looking human observers stationed at the Montauk base and associated with the star Antares. The entry is a single sentence in its original form; a fuller elaborate profile circulated later has no traceable source.

Source: Al Bielek and Val Valerian, Montauk Project-related testimony, as compiled on Exopaedia

Related Cases: Not to be confused with “Antarctican” (this network’s separate, unrelated entry)

DETAILED REPORT

The Antariean entry is a clean example of a source being inverted rather than embellished. Bielek and Valerian’s actual claim is about as minimal as this genre gets — a one-line description saying these observers look completely ordinary. The previous version of this page did the opposite of expanding a thin source: it replaced the source’s central claim (normal human appearance) with an entirely different, more dramatic physical description involving reptilian eyes and multiple size castes.

It’s also worth being direct about the reliability of the underlying testimony. Al Bielek’s broader body of claims rests on the Philadelphia Experiment story, and that story’s own originator has a documented history that undercuts his reliability as a narrator. This doesn’t mean nothing Bielek says is worth recording — his claims are a real, notable part of this genre’s history — but it means his testimony should be weighted as testimony, not treated as established fact.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

“Just Like Normal Humans” — Antarieans and a Source Turned Inside Out

Source Chain Assessment: The claim traces to named individuals (Bielek, Valerian) associated with Montauk/Philadelphia Experiment lore, compiled secondarily on Exopaedia. It is not independently verified by any outside source.
Inversion, Not Embellishment: Describing the beings as reptilian-eyed when the source explicitly says “normal humans” is a direct contradiction of the source, not an expansion of it — a distinct and more serious error than adding unsupported detail to a source that’s simply silent on a topic.
Credibility Context: The Philadelphia Experiment’s documented hoax-adjacent origin is directly relevant to evaluating Bielek’s broader claims and belongs in this entry rather than being left out.
Naming Collision: “Antariean/Antarean” (from the star Antares) and “Antarctican” (from the continent Antarctica) are unrelated in original sourcing but similar enough in name to have been merged in earlier retellings. They’ve been kept separate here.

What Bielek and Valerian actually claimed is almost aggressively unremarkable: human-looking observers at a secret base, nothing more specified. That’s a strange kind of restraint for this genre of testimony, and it deserved to be preserved rather than overwritten with a more dramatic invented physiology that the source itself never described.

Bielek and Valerian describe Antareans as looking “just like normal humans.”

REMOVED CLAIMS (Archived for Reference)

These details appeared in an earlier version of this page and directly contradict or have no basis in the actual Bielek/Valerian source. Archived here rather than deleted.

Slit pupils and reptilian eye coloring — directly contradicts the source’s description of “normal human” appearance
“Giant” (7’0″–9’0″) and “Observer” caste height ranges — no source; contradicts the “normal human” description
Full biometric panel (weight, body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, life expectancy of 10,000 years) — no source
Chronokinetic time-manipulation abilities and “Type 2.5” classification — no source
“Parallel Universe” origin — no source; the source names Antares, a real star
Subterranean Antarctica basing — conflates this entry with the separate “Antarctican” entry due to name similarity; the two are not the same source
Genesis “red giant” biblical reference — no traceable connection to the Bielek/Valerian source
