The Biaviians, per contactee Riley Martin's sole account: a 70-million-year war with the reptilian Targs, said to have ended in the deliberate nuclear destruction of Earth's dinosaurs.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY – BIAVIIANS (BIAVEH)
Every detail of the Biaviians traces to one man — radio personality and self-described contactee Riley Martin, who claimed a fifty-year relationship with a being named Tan, and whose account of a 70-million-year-old war that ended with the deliberate nuclear destruction of Earth’s dinosaurs remains, by the admission of the reference literature itself, entirely uncorroborated by any other author.
Name: Biaviians
AKA: Biaveh (properly the name of their home planet, not the beings themselves, per source). “The Martin Humanoids” is not reported in any source or fabricated.
Location – Home System: Biaveh, per Riley Martin’s account. Sources disagree on its location: reference material places it in the Taurus constellation, while Martin’s own more recent biographical material places it in a “Tetrahedron Galaxy” — this entry notes the discrepancy rather than resolving it. Per a detailed secondary recap of Martin’s book, the system contains 8 suns, 7 planets, and 9 moons, with 7 intelligent species sharing a joint mothership near Saturn.
Distance from Earth: Sources disagree — one reference gives 450 light years; another secondary account gives an unusual “4.6999 travel years” figure whose unit is not clearly defined. Neither matches the prior version’s “unknown/interdimensional” framing, which is not supported by either source.
Attitude: Per source, peaceful and benevolent; Martin describes them as watchers and protectors concerned with guiding humanity toward peace, having reportedly lost the capacity for “extreme emotions” themselves.
Motives: Per source, guidance of human development and, per the fuller account, active removal of the Targ (reptilian) presence on Earth via a deliberate nuclear detonation that triggered the nuclear winter associated with the dinosaurs’ extinction. A planned future evacuation of willing humans — “The Great Airlift” — to Biaveh is also part of Martin’s account.
Physical Appearance: Per Martin’s own description: large, unblinking oval eyes, heads noticeably larger than normal in proportion to the body. Not reported in any source or fabricated: the precise physiological figures below.
- Average Height: Male about 4 feet tall; female a few inches shorter — matches source closely.
- Average Weight: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Body Temperature: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Blood Pressure: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Life Expectancy: Not reported in any source or fabricated. Tan, Martin’s primary contact, is described as approximately 10,000 years old.
- Hair: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Skin: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Eyes: Per source, large unblinking ovals; males’ eyes described as light-to-deep gold, females’ as blue, with shade shifting depending on light and emotion. The prior version’s “entirely dark/ebony” eye description directly contradicts Martin’s own account and has been corrected.
- Sex: Per source, binary male/female, with males taller than females — this contradicts the prior version’s “non-binary/androgynous” claim, which is not reported in any source and has been corrected. Per Martin’s account, Biaviians have reportedly interbred with humans since biblical times, and Martin claimed to have fathered six hybrid children himself.
Other Physical Information: Per source, Biaviians reportedly cannot survive in Earth’s atmosphere for extended periods without life support, and human-Biaviian hybrids require ongoing “medicinal compounds” to remain on Earth long-term. Reported to be vegetarian and to consume no solid food.
Special Traits and Abilities: Per source, telepathic communication and information transfer via a headset-like device that downloaded knowledge directly into Martin’s mind. The “gravity field manipulation” claim is not reported in any source or fabricated.
Communication Type: Telepathic, per source, including direct neurological “downloads” of information and symbols.
Origin: Biaveh, per Riley Martin’s account (see Location field for disputed placement).
Life Form Type: Described by Martin as a distinct, big-headed humanoid species; the “Grey-Humanoid Hybrid” classification is this archive’s own inference from physical resemblance, not a term used in the source material.
Subspecies: Not reported in any source or fabricated. The “Common/Elder Biavian” caste distinction does not appear in Martin’s account.
Most Common Species: Biaviian (source term); “Saurian-Hybrid” is not reported in any source or fabricated and is inconsistent with Martin’s description of the Biaviians as the Targ’s (reptilian) historical adversaries.
Level of Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated (“Type II” classification has no traceable origin).
Habits: Per source, maintain a shared mothership near Saturn with six other intelligent species; collect and preserve samples of Earth’s plant and animal life aboard the mothership.
Transportation Type: A large shared mothership stationed near Saturn, per source. Additional “smaller scout craft” detail is not specifically described in the source material located.
Witnesses Reports: Riley Martin is the sole source for this case. Reference material explicitly states that no other author mentions the Biaviians, and that many researchers question Martin’s credibility. The “independent sightings of almond-eyed humanoids in the Taurus region” claim in the prior version is not reported in any source or fabricated.
Special Features/Characteristics: Not reported in any source or fabricated. The “dual-brain” claim does not appear in Martin’s account.
Summary/Description: Per Riley Martin, the Biaviians became involved in Earth’s history when, roughly 70 million years ago, their ongoing war with the reptilian Targzissians (“Targs”) spread to our solar system. Per the fuller account, the Biaviians ultimately detonated a nuclear device to eliminate the Targ-descended dinosaur population on Earth, triggering the nuclear winter associated with their extinction. Martin claimed a roughly 50-year relationship with a Biaviian named Tan and described being repeatedly taken to a shared mothership near Saturn.
Source: Riley Martin, “The Coming of Tan”; Exopaedia.org (“Biaveh”); secondary reader recaps of Martin’s book. “The Branton Files” and “Project Serpo” do not appear to be genuine sources for this case and have been removed — Serpo in particular is an unrelated case involving Zeta Reticuli.
Related Cases: The Targzissians (“Targs,” the reptilian adversary race in Martin’s account); Project Serpo (a separate, unrelated Zeta Reticuli case, not connected to this one).
DETAILED REPORT
The Biaviians case is unusual for how completely it rests on a single, named, biographically documented individual: Riley Lee Martin (1946–2015), a self-described alien contactee and author best known for his recurring appearances on the Howard Stern Show. Martin’s book, “The Coming of Tan,” describes decades of contact — from the 1960s through the 1980s — with a being he called Tan, one of the Biaviians, a species he described as roughly four-foot-tall, big-headed humanoids from a planet called Biaveh. Reference material is explicit that no other author or contactee corroborates the Biaviians’ existence, and that Martin’s credibility is widely questioned even within UFO research circles.
The central narrative event — a 70-million-year-old interstellar war between the Biaviians and a reptilian race called the Targzissians (“Targs”) that culminated in the deliberate nuclear destruction of Earth’s dinosaur population — is preserved accurately from the original page, and a fuller secondary recap of Martin’s book adds that this was specifically a nuclear detonation followed by nuclear winter, a detail worth including for completeness. Several other claims in the prior version, however, directly contradict Martin’s own descriptions: he describes the Biaviians as binary male and female (with a stated interbreeding program producing human-Biaviian hybrids, including six children he claimed to have fathered himself), and describes their eyes as gold or blue rather than “entirely dark.” These have been corrected to match the primary source.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Biaviians — A Single-Source, Single-Author Case
- Source Fidelity: This is one of the more clearly single-sourced cases in the archive — everything traces to Riley Martin’s own book and public statements, with reference literature explicitly noting the absence of corroboration from any other author.
- Physical Description Correction: Eye color (gold/blue, not “entirely dark”) and reproductive biology (binary male/female with an interbreeding program, not “non-binary/androgynous”) both contradict Martin’s own account and have been corrected.
- Source Removal: “The Branton Files” and “Project Serpo” do not appear connected to this case in any source located; their inclusion in the prior version appears to be an unsupported addition, and Serpo specifically belongs to a separate Zeta Reticuli case.
- Evidentiary Weight: This is single-contactee testimony from an individual whose credibility is explicitly disputed even within UFO research literature. Filed as CONTACTEE material with the lowest corroboration tier this archive uses — one person’s account, unconfirmed by any other source.
The Biaviians exist, as a documented case, entirely within the testimony of one man. That doesn’t make the story less colorful — a 70-million-year war, a nuclear extinction event, a decades-long personal relationship with an alien named Tan — but it does mean the record should say plainly what it is: a single contactee’s account, corrected here to match what he actually claimed rather than what had been added to it.
