Scientific paper

It is argued that there is no compelling evidence for non-Newtonian long-range forces in three widely cited geophysical experiments. Signals reported as evidence for such a 'fifth' force at a North Carolina television tower and elsewhere can be explained in a conventional way by postulating small density variations underground. The assumptions employed in earlier analyses which pointed to a failure of the inverse square law are examined and found to be difficult to justify.
