In the parapsychological 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, 2 SER Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300260001 -0

We have limited the period surveyed: e 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* 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 “These journals were the Journal of Parapsychology, the Journal of American Society for Psychical Research, the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, the European Journal of Parapsychology, and Research in Parapsychology. 3 “SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300260001 -0
