Dear Howard,

I'm sending this email on behalf of Riley Martin. I am a rocket scientist with a PhD in Aerospace Engineering. As a hobby I like to read about paranormal subjects such as UFO's. Most of it I consider entertaining speculation, but I'm always on the look out for something more legitimate because of my firm belief that we are not alone in this universe. I came across Riley's book, The Coming of Tan, after hearing him on a radio show a couple of years ago. In the book, he claims that fusion is used to power their space craft. That intrigued me, because I do research in fusion energy science. I contacted Curtis Cooperman to see if Riley had information on how the fusion reactors actually worked. This led to me talking to Riley on the phone. He shared with me quantitative details on a device like none other I had encountered before. Believe me, I have studied fusion reactor designs for both power generation and propulsion, and this bore no resemblance to any device in the 60 year history of the subject. However, some of the features of Riley's fusion reactor have strong overlap with some ideas that some of my colleagues have recently been investigating. These things were only published as of this year, but his book was written years ago. Riley makes some pretty unbelievable claims, but so far, he has provided some remarkable evidence that he is being truthful. In addition, he has some deep and broad knowledge for a guy who seems content drinking beer and drawing those symbols all day. I cannot see where he would find the time to learn what he has and speak with such eloquence and consistency, especially given his 8th grade level education. Just as a comparison, I don't consider myself as eloquent, I was in college for 11 years! Howard, you are a successful guy and clearly know how to make good choices. I hope you decide to give Riley a voice on your new network. I cannot make any claims on how successful Riley will be, although I am optimistic and hopeful for him. I can say that what he will share with the audience will be entertaining, thought provoking, and important. I believe you will be glad you gave him that opportunity.

All the best in your endeavors,

Jason

Gene is another person I knew was imprssed with The Coming of Tan.
I asked him to write a letter to Howard Stern I can inclulde with my proposal for an audition.

I've been aware of Riley Martin's work for nearly four years now from hearing him on Coast-to-Coast AM. I rank him as a 10 out of a perfect 10 as a talk show guest or potential host.
If you've read his book, The Coming of Tan, www.thecomingoftan.com, you know that Riley has an extremely important story to tell, an unique perspective that no one else has duplicated or eclidated as fully or as well. And it's even not a hard read nor is the material dry or stuffy in any way. I found some 300 concepts in his book that I haven't seen in any other source, concepts that could change the world regarding what we need to do as a species to not only survive but thrive. It is my favorite book.
Riley's a totally distinctive character particulary for the kind of work he is doing. He is a black man from Arkansas, the son of a sharecropper: not the background you would expect for the man who would become the voice for not only his own race but all races in his attempt to direct Earth's destiny past its persent maelstrom of crises.
Riley has undergone quite a metamorphosis from backroom prizefighter and sometime jailbird to the potentially primary spokesman for humankind. When Riley is asked a question regarding science, technology, astrophysics, etc., you get a immediate answer very specific answer that is easily in the 250-300 I.Q. range. These answers, and Riley's book, have come to him telepathically as revelation from the "Biaviians," an ET race, and from his chief contact there, one O-Qua Tangin Wann. I know of no human with Riley's skills.
I suggest you try him out on his own radio time slot asap. Time indeed is of the essence. I am confident that Riley will rapidly adapt to, and glow in, his new role as general spokesmen for both our planet and for the alien intelligences attempting to contact us through him so that we will remediate the CHAOS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE US as the result of the choices we humans have made. Riley is a kind of liaison who provides a way out.

Sincerely,
Gene W. E.

I've read a few thousand books by now on a myrid of subjects. I take nothing I read as the absolute truth. To do so results in being disillusioned at times. I read for entertainment and if I read something that I have read dozens of times before by dozens of different authors then I take notice and begin building a mental folder about the author and the book. I am not naive enough to think that the human race is all there is. When we're gone the insects will be left. Most of the information in Riley Martin's book is not only highly plausuable and brillant it is most likely true. Mankind is so vain that we think we are all that is. The very scenarios and revelations Riley has laid out in his book are not only likely to occur but I feel is a preview of what mankind has coming up. This book made me laugh, made me gasp, and almost made me cry. If you want a spectacular read and aren't too proud or vain to admit that "maybe, just maybe, there is something you don't know that could change everything you do" know then I suggest you take a leap of faith and read this book. The information in this book is very frightening at times because it seems so real to what may happen to us. God help us if Riley is right. If God has ever made a mistake I would have to say it is us. For some reason we have developed too fast technologically and too slow spiritually. Riley discusses this in his book and what happened to another race of people that were so vain (Just like us). Until you can look at a stranger and consider them part of you then the human race will continue to bask in deceit and greed and murder. Deceit is the worst, this seems to come natural for a man but it is usually taught to the women. After enough men lie to them, deceive them, hurt them, then the women learn deceit. Most women are born good and kind and decent until they are taught otherwise by men. I am so sorry that mankind is so cruel to each other. Religion has destroyed this world by the maniacs who adhere to the letter and the hell with the spirit. Treat all others how you would like to be treated, this is what Jesus tried to tell us but mankind is still too vain to listen. What will it take to wake us up? Well I don't know but a lot of what you should know is in Riley Martins book. You may not like what you read but that doesn't change the fact his information sounds disturbingly real and plausable. We are all simply one heartbeat from the grave and one little virus from being qarantined. You should read the book and get a peek at our possible and plausable future. Skip one meal and find out about one of the most heartbreaking horrors of WW2 I've ever read. You cannot be the same after reading this book.

Hello again!!! I still am in awe with all of the information the both of you have available for all of us!!! I can't read enough about it!! I do visit your website very often to make sure I am not missing out on anything and I have looked at the NASA photographs that the Cassini Spacecraft sent back and it is just amazing!!! Since I was a child I have always been so curious with UFO's more than anyone I knew and I felt I wasn't able to talk about them like I would have liked to and those curiousities are still there and have never left. I have to say your website as well as the book have really inspired me and I want to thank you both again for everything you have done!!! Take care always!!!!!!

Having read Riley's book I was thoroughly impressed with all the detail; the humor and his sincerity. I have no way to verify if the book is true or just made up, but I have read probably 50 books on ETs and I would put Riley's book near the top of the list.

Rich

This fascinates Ph.Ds and also 12 year olds. Quite a span of education.

I loved your book. I would like to order 2 symbols. One for me and one for my grandmother. I think we both have to write a note so you will have both of our handwrittings. See you on the mothership.

Zack C

P.S. I am only 12 years old and I read your book three times over.

You have had a fascinating experience my brother and I know that it was impossible for you to make all of this up an idiot should be able to realize this. But we live in an insane society that's in denial of the truth and many aspects on how we should live and love one other. You have illustrated stuff and your artwork is original I never saw anything like it in this world. I will order your book soon and I want a symbol too. Everybody sees what's coming in a few years you have to be a blind fool not to see what's coming. God bless us all I would rather live in peace and love, who cares about money and the entire BS in the world. We as humans spend a lifetime worrying about acquiring wealth more so than worrying about developing our own spiritual growth. God bless you Riley live in love and light and tell Tan to give us a blessing and his good vibrations. Because there are a lot of us that want to see this planet evolved into something beautiful a planet that filled with peace, love and harmony.

Kevin M

Just finished the book & I truly hope to meet Riley someday. I plan on purchasing a symbol soon, and wish I could buy more for certain family members, but I don't have the money now. The book made me cry at so many places, and I feel I'm at a better place in life because of what he discussed. I've been telling all my friends about it.

Christopher

I'm reading Riley's book and I have to admit that I'm in awe of everything about it. I have always "felt" the exact same things that Riley is talking about so it leaves me to wonder if there's something in my subconscious mind that I'm not "consciously" aware of yet.

Lately I've been feeling that something big is about to happen and that there's more for me to do, but right now I'm just sitting and waiting. Like it's not quite my time to do anything or to even know what it is I'm supposed to do. The more I read his book, the more things are starting to make sense for me to the point that I'm having a hard time focusing on the "normal" day to day events that I've been doing for the last 37 years of my life!

Anyway, I'm just rambling, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for getting the book to me and to thank Riley for being so brave for all of us. I know it must be difficult trying to get this message out when so many people don't want to know the truth. I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like for Riley when people don't take him seriously. Please let him know that I take him very seriously. I've read many books and researched so many topics about aliens, our REAL history, UFO's , government cover-ups, etc., and NOTHING has made sense to me as much as Riley's message does. It all fits!!!!!!!!!! Please thank him for me and give him my best! LOVE & LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say Hi and to thank you very much for doing what you both are doing. Riley, you have sincerely touched my life in such a wonderful way and I can assume that there are many others who feel the same way. You are such a sincere and terrific person and I just wanted to let you know that!!! I think of you often and hope life is treating you well!!!

I am close to finishing the book, The Coming of Tan - I have about another 90 pages to go. I am enjoying it tremendously, and have learned a lot.

I am currently reading Riley's book, The Coming of Tan, and last night I was moved to tears. The way he speaks of how we have poisoned our Earth and the terrible way we are controlled by the power of money and depravity in our Government and big business instead of helping one another. It's exactly how I've been feeling for some time but it was as if I was seeing it from Tan's eyes. I felt the sadness and senselessness of it all. I can only imagine what I have yet to read in finishing the book. It's touched me in ways that I will never be the same. God Bless both you and Riley for sharing this with us all.

Sue

I have read just about everything on your site, great site. Just a comment on the book, I take note of the frankness in wish Riley speaks of his experiences just like you and I would be talking about things here on Earth. That makes his message have a lot of credibility and very believable. I really enjoy the book.

Jerry

Want to say I heard Mr. Riley Friday night/saturday morning and I was totally in blow away listening to him. i could listen to him talk for hours, he is so interesting and I want to know about tan.

Carole Files

Just wanted to let you know I heard you on the Howard Stern show yesterday. With all the chatter your message did come through so don't take Howard's obnoxious behavior to heart.

Also, when you mentioned your message from Tan about the year 2012, is when I knew you are legit. The message has been out there for hundreds of years, but you are first person I heard mention this on a major media network. As, quirky as Howard is he does serve his purpose.

Christine

I HAVE FINISHED READING YOUR BOOK AND I HAVE NEVER READ A BOOK THAT I HAVE BEEN ON A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS FROM LAUGHING SO HARD MY STOMACH HURT TO CRYING TO COMPASSION, BEING MAD, HATING WHAT HUMANS ARE DOING TO THIS EARTH TO FINALLY KNOWING HOW THIS EARTH STARTED. I LOVED EVERY PAGE OF THE BOOK AND I AM SURE THAT ANYONE WHO HAS THIS BOOK WILL FEEL THE SAME. THANKS AGAIN.

ANGIE

Along with millions of others, I listened to Riley's story today on Howard Stern's show, and I was admittedly skeptical. Then I visited the website and was totally astounded -- what an amazing story! I read Riley's story as it was written in his original hand just to be sure... even if you are the most hard-bitten skeptic, you'll still be blown away by his tale. He doesn't claim to be anything more than an average (maybe even below-average) guy, but he tells the story in the most remarkable fashion. Whether it's true or if it's simply Riley's fantasy, it's still a terrific story!

David

I've read a lot of books, but your book really touched me tremendously. While much of it is challenging to the left brain and the ego, my spirit and heart told me your words are true. I found myself crying several times while reading the book, for humanity, for Mother Earth herself, for my friends/family---you name it. The destruction and foolishness we've visited upon this planet and her inhabitants is nothing short of ridiculous and sad.

ALW

Whether viewed as didactic fiction, or as a scathing expose of humanity in the 20th century, or as the forecast of the great airlift to Biaveh, this book is nothing short of brilliant." Thanks Riley! Thanks Tan!

Steven

For those of us who realize that beings outside of this planet exist, the book "The Coming of Tan" gives us incredible amounts of detailed and specific information about all the known intelligent species - what they look like, how they act, their characteristics, their history, and most importantly, their message. Riley has pumped this story with so much data, that one must read it multilineous times in order for all the information to saturate one's mind. It truly is incredible.

And for those who refuse to believe, at the very, very least, this book can be viewed as a masterpiece of science-fiction, with friendly and realistic characters, and a plethora of alien beings and technology, told from the everyday man's point of view.

No matter what walk of life you come from, "The Coming of Tan", by Riley Martin and O-Qua Tangin Wann, will touch, astonish, thrill, amuse, and stimulate you.
