Costigan Household Blue-Orb Encounter
September 2009Maryland neighborhood (Costigan case), Maryland, United States
The source reports a low-flying blue orb passing close to Jim and Laila Costigan in Maryland and grazing Laila’s upper arm, followed by illness and a later Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis diagnosis. The reported temporal association is preserved without treating causation as established.
Claims are displayed with the source wording, locator, relationship and verification state. Competing claims remain separate rather than being averaged into a single answer.
“The source reports that a low-flying blue orb passed Jim and Laila Costigan in their Maryland neighborhood and briefly grazed Laila’s upper arm before disappearing into the neighborhood.”
“The book says Laila Costigan later developed lethargy, joint pain and other symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. It attributes the causal interpretation to Jim Costigan and separately notes that the small number of autoimmune cases was insufficient to evaluate cause and effect.”
“In the Ron Becker case the source reports three sharply defined bright blue spherical objects, roughly softball-sized; two were said to pass through the vehicle and one was said to pass through Becker’s upper body.”
“In this Gorman report the orb was described as containing a swirling or boiling-looking blue substance. The chapter portrays its rapid response to a flashlight and tight movement through trees as suggestive of control, but does not establish a mechanism or origin.”
