Biography

Martin stated on his website that he "was born May 9, 1946, in Mississippi to a family of sharecroppers of African American and Native American descent". He claimed he was first visited by aliens in November 1953, near the St. Francis River while living in Arkansas.

Martin characterized his interaction with the aliens as positive. The Biaviian alien O-Qua Tangin Wann (also known as Tan), is listed as the co-author of his book. He *erted that a significant amount of knowledge was uploaded into his brain by the aliens within a matter of minutes, including 144,000 different alien "symbols".

Martin claimed that these aliens, flying aboard 'The Great mother ship', gave him this knowledge so that he could produce and sell hand-drawings of these symbols, which were to allow p*age aboard the Mother Ship when the Earth was to have been 'transformed' in 2012.

Besides his Sirius show, Martin hosted a weekly Internet radio show, The Official Riley Martin Radio Show.

Martin's official Facebook fan page and Twitter feed announced his death on January 5, 2016, although it had occurred in December 2015. The producer of his radio show told TMZ that Martin had died "a few days before Christmas".
