Gravity data are analyzed from deep boreholes in Nevada in order to test the reproducibility of the reported evidence of Stacey et al. (1981, 1986, and 1987) suggesting a breakdown of Newtonian gravitation theory. The results suggest a breakdown of the theory which is much larger than the previously reported effect. It is shown that the gravity gradients measured in Nevada and in Australia by Stacey et al. are different and do not describe a consistent non-Newtonian interaction. It is concluded that this is likely to be the case at other borehole locations around earth. The variability is the result of an analysis where the measured gradients are compared to a model gradient, and the model implicitly assumes an earth with uniform and homogeneous layers at depths beneath the hole. The results suggest that the experiments are subject to large systematic uncertainties caused by mass anomalies at intermediate distances from the holes.
