OBJECTIVE
The objective of this program is
to determine from a search of
pertinent
literature whether countermeasures
may exist against psycho-
energetic intrusions.
Furthermore,
should countermeasures
exist,
those
most
likely to yield results are outlined for further investigation.

INTRODUCTION
Should countermeasures
(CM) against psychoenergetic intrusion exist
they will be accomplished by physical or by mental processes.
Physical
countermeasures, such as various
forms_ of shielding,
implicitly assume
the existence of psychoenergetic interactions with the physical world.
In the paraps ychologi ca 1
literature,
such interactions are referred to
as remote perturbation
(RP)
,
psychokinesis
(PK), telekinesis
(TK)
,
etc.
Countermeasures accomplished by mental processes are difficult
to define
and even more difficult
to investigate.
Like
jamming a radar signal,
mental CM would most
likely use the same process
as
that of the intrusion
Examples
of potential mental CM drawn from the occult
literature are
psychic attack,'
"hexes," and the
like.
This report
focuses upon physi-
cal CM.
To determine the feasibility of
a physical CM device,
we must
first
assess whether simple intrusion detection
is
possible.
The mechanism
underlying such
a detector would then serve
as
the basis for the develop-
ment
of
a CM device.
Psychoenergetic intrusion may be
classified into two categories:
(1)
Material objects are affected
(2)
Information only
is
obtained from the
remote
location.
We have surveyed the
literature and evaluated the most recent
laboratory
experiments
that address
both types
of intrusion.
This report
summarizes
that
investigation.

LITERATURE SURVEY AND EVALUATION
To achieve our objective, we have conducted a complete survey of the
most recent
ten years of parapsychological
literature in five different
$
journals.
We have
limited the period surveyed:
•
To ensure that
the threat assessment
of psychoenergetic
intrusion
is relevant
to modern facilities.
•
To make the survey chronologically compatible with a
previously completed survey of random number generator
(RNG)
RP.
Sixty—five papers were identified that pertain
to RP,
exclusive of
RNG
studies.
Combined with the papers reviewed in a previous report 1
we
now
have
a data base of approximately 100 laboratory publications
of experi-
ments
that suggest
the probability of mental intrusion.
These reports
fall into categories
(Table
1)
that
can be arranged
into
a hierarchy of
the magnitude of intrusive effect.
This
same organi-
zation
yields
a parallel hierarchy of
credibility that
is determined
by
soundness
of methodology and replicability.
In general, phenomena
reported at
the beginning of
the table
[e.g.,
effects on RNG,
dice experi-
ments,
remote viewing] tend to be characterized by rigorous experimental
design.
Remote perturbation effects
listed at
the end of
the table
(metal
bending,
levitation) are more difficult
to assess because of incomplete
descriptions of controls and
the near anecdotal nature of the reports.
Most
of the papers
claiming evidence of physical effects are not
subject
