Newton's inverse square law of gravitation is tested by comparing accurately measured gravity values along a 600-m tower with upward continued gravity estimates calculated from ground measurements using algorithms based on Newtonian potential theory. The results show a substantial departure from the inverse square law, asymptotically approaching about 500 microGal at the top of the tower with a standard deviation better than 40 microGal. It is suggested that the results show the existence of a non-Newtonian attractive force which falls off rapidly with elevation.
