The site is an early research paper abstract, annotated with Flash based comments which, when clicked, reveal in page comment conversations between the apparently relevant people to this study. The end product is not conclusive beyond promoting itself as an early explainer and proposal for increased funding to further research.
--or--
The content looks like the first/early draft of a research proposal or grant application; no research has been done, and there are several options illustrated for topics to be discussed in said proposed research project. The dialogue looks to be from the named contributors to the paper/research (see top of page). Seems to be meant to suggest to the reader new ways to think about "the presence" (meteorological phenomena/extraterrestrial communication are both new ideas to me) and gives the presence more subjective clout: an apparently respectable and analytical scientist has experienced first hand and been affected, presumably without coming into contact with [[opal ]] or anything else that would make the account less reliable. The paper also offers data refuting the Presence as a theological entity, more specifically the discussion of anecdotal evidence and the accompanying bar graph.
Of special interest is the fact that one of the authors, Timothy Eskaran, has personally witnessed The Presence. As he is listed as first author, and is listed as a graduate student of Boston University, it is possible although unconfirmed that he witnessed the same event as John of Boston. A possible hint is discussion in the notes about how Eskaran had a "religious experience", something he admits he would like to protest, but cannot. Also of interest is currently, Boston University is constructing an extremely controversial infectious-disease research laboratory.
