Overview
Photographs circulating online are being presented as alleged evidence of two human-looking extraterrestrials, identified as Ariyuanhas and Adrieiuous, a purported mother and son from the Pleiades star cluster. The claims were revisited in a November 2, 2026, post by Alien Archivist, which links the material to a YouTube video uploaded in 2010 by the user “startraveler2000.” The video was titled “real human aliens” and reportedly included several images said to have been taken after the pair were placed in U.S. military custody in 1972.
There is no independently verified evidence establishing the photographs’ origin, the identities of the people shown, or the existence of the alleged military detention program. The account remains part of the broader body of historical UFO and alien-encounter claims that circulate through online archives, videos and enthusiast publications.
The Alleged Encounter
According to the narrative accompanying the images, Ariyuanhas and Adrieiuous reached Earth after their spacecraft made an emergency landing while they were searching for Adrieiuous’ father. The pair were allegedly intercepted by U.S. military personnel on May 12, 1972, and transported to a secret facility, where they were held separately.
Ariyuanhas was described as a scientist between 78 and 100 Earth years old, although she reportedly appeared to be approximately 30. The material characterizes her as a seven-foot-three-inch-tall woman with very light blue eyes, large pupils and slightly pointed ears. It further claims that she stopped speaking and eating while detained, continued to drink water and communicated with her son telepathically rather than requesting direct contact.
A caption-like information panel associated with one of the photographs lists her as “HUMAN/CELEST,” identifies her origin as the “PLEIADES CONSTELLATION,” and labels her “NON THREATENING.” It also records her location as “BLOCK 9, CELL 16,” gives her language as “NON VERBAL COMM,” and lists her occupation or status as “SCIENCE.” The panel refers to her craft as “MURCURY/STA-ELECT/DISK,” though the meaning and provenance of that terminology are unclear.
The Markings and Adrieiuous
One of the most distinctive features in the images is a set of dark markings visible across Ariyuanhas’ left forearm. The accompanying account says the markings depict a constellation of stars, but it does not provide an astronomical identification, independent analysis or explanation of how the pattern was recorded and interpreted.
Adrieiuous is described as Ariyuanhas’ son and appears in separate photographs. The account places his age between 19 and 28, while claiming that he physically resembled a child of approximately eight to ten. Unlike his mother, he reportedly spoke with guards, ate normally and participated in testing. The available material, however, does not identify the alleged facility, the military personnel involved, or any official records that could corroborate those details.
Assessment and Context
The photographs’ online history appears to begin with their reported 2010 YouTube upload, rather than with contemporaneous documentation from 1972. No chain of custody, original negatives, authenticated government files or testimony from identifiable witnesses is supplied in the source material. As a result, the images cannot presently be treated as proof of extraterrestrial life or a secret U.S. detention case.
The story illustrates how ambiguous photographs can acquire elaborate narratives as they move through UFO communities. Claims involving the Pleiades, telepathy, unusual physical aging and government custody have appeared in various forms across contactee and abduction literature. Until verifiable provenance and independent expert examination are provided, Ariyuanhas and Adrieiuous remain alleged figures in an unsubstantiated UFO account—not confirmed extraterrestrial prisoners.
