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 protests. Also of interest is currently, Boston University is constructing an extremely controversial infectious-disease research laboratory.
It may also be worth noting the frequent insinuations that what we know of The Presence may, in fact, be affected by elements of human consciousness; meaning, certain elements of The Presence that have so far been taken for granted, may eventually be revealed to be elements of human consciousness transferred onto the phenomenon.
For example, from the pictures, video and first hand accounts given, the foremost obvious characteristic of The Presence is that it is the form of a “huge arm”. However, it is suggested here that
“The perception of a ‘huge arm’ is probably an anthropomorphic/neurological <i>bias</i>.” -Explaining The Presence: Outlining Origin Theories
This may be disregarded as another attempt to ‘rationalize’ The Presence, however the frequency with which this bias is suggested makes the possibility of a universally skewed perception of The Presence worth noting, or at the very least, makes the factor of that possibility significant. Overall this forces us to question even what little we think we know about The Presence at this point.
“The larger question remains of whether first hand accounts represent an epiphenomenon of consciousness or whether they represent a valid perception of reality, <i>albeit filtered by human consciousness</i>.” -Brian Tsunoda, Subjective Evidence: First Hand Accounts
“Your personal experience is going to <i>bias</i> your thinking.” -Irina Youket, Comment #4
“But the fundamental question is really whether my subjective experience was simply an epiphenomenon of consciousness, or was in fact a true perception of reality, <i>albeit filtered by consciousness.</i>” -Timothy Eskaran, Comment # 8

The term Vox Telecom appears in this site, as it has in others. While generally it is minor mention, it is interesting to note this is a real Cellular Service Provider in Europe.
