Telekinesis Real Cases: CIA Holdings and Documentary Limits
What can a surviving CIA Reading Room document trail certify about alleged mind–matter effects, and where does it stop without protocols and replication?
This piece stays inside a small, visible archive slice: CIA Reading Room holdings that discuss psychokinesis and related claims, with internal cautions.
- CIA Reading Room holdings on psychokinesis and parapsychology topics
- In-file caution against assigning observed effects to psychokinesis
- Soviet and Eastern European research described via summaries and translations
- Nina Kulagina and Alla Vinogradova named as psychic subjects in one report
- Primary protocols, raw data, and independent replication not surfaced in this set
These points define the stable edge of what this validated record package can certify, without extending beyond it.
The archive structure here connects to a larger paranormal records archive holding comparable documentation and case entries.
CIA Reading Room record: PHYSICS, ENTROPY, AND PSYCHOKINESIS (CIA-RDP96-00787R000700090007-1)
A CIA Reading Room entry appears under the title PHYSICS, ENTROPY, AND PSYCHOKINESIS, presented as an accessible document record.
The record contains language addressing how effects should be attributed in this topic area. It is not framed as a confirmation notice.
Within the item, a caution appears about being ‘cautious about assigning a given observed effect’ to psychokinesis.
This caution is part of the same documentary object that uses the psychokinesis label. The wording sets a restraint inside the file itself.
In this surfaced slice, the caution stands as a clear administrative boundary on what the item is willing to attribute to PK.
What can be certified here is the presence of that cautionary phrasing inside a CIA-hosted Reading Room record on psychokinesis.[1]
This evidence gate can certify a documented warning against over-attribution to PK, but it does not certify any specific effect; it pushes the next question to where the underlying experimental record is.
Nina Kulagina and Alla Vinogradova as named subjects in a CIA-held summary (CIA-RDP96-00792R000600350001-3)
In SOVIET AND CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH, the text names two female psychic subjects: Nina Kulagina and Alla Vinogradova.
The same document includes the reported wording that these two subjects ‘have been studied extensively by Drs. Sergeyev and Adamenko’, as stated within the document.
What this can certify is narrow but firm: the names, and the fact that the report itself records an assertion of extensive study tied to two named researchers.
What does not stabilize inside this file is the primary experimental scaffolding behind that assertion—protocols, controls, instrumentation logs, or raw data.
The unresolved question is which original Soviet-era publications or reports these claims are drawn from, and whether those primary texts can be retrieved and reviewed directly.[2]
Vasiliev’s 1966 death marker and organizational change claims in PARAPSYCHOLOGY IN THE USSR
The CIA-held summary PARAPSYCHOLOGY IN THE USSR includes statements about organizational changes following Vasiliev’s death in 1966.
The same narrative mentions Moscow and Leningrad nodes of activity, as described in the summary.
This can certify that the document preserves an internal timeline marker and place-names structuring its account of activity and change.
It cannot certify, from this surfaced summary alone, how those organizational claims were documented at the source level, or what underlying records were used to write the account.
The next unresolved question is which referenced Soviet-era materials sit behind this summary layer, and whether those primary materials can be located in full-text form.[3]
What the file set consistently is: summaries, translations, and collected narratives
Across the validated CIA Reading Room anchors here, the holdings appear as reports, translations, summaries, and collected discussions on psychokinesis-related topics.
One example is a CIA-hosted PDF identified as CIA-RDP96-00792R000400350005-1, described in this package as collected or translated material around psychokinesis and deformation claims.
Another example is THE DETAIL OF PARANORMAL METAL-BENDING, presented in this validated set as narrative description content inside a CIA file, not as a controlled verification record.
This can certify an institutional pattern of collection and monitoring of open literature, but it does not create a shortcut from document presence to demonstrated physical effects.
The open problem that follows is chain-of-custody in ideas: which source texts these documents relied on, and where the original publications can be retrieved for direct evaluation.[4][5]
The broader pattern emerging here aligns with material organized under psychic phenomena case files in the same archive corridor.
Psychokinesis as a parapsychology category, and why this archive slice cannot settle it
In parapsychology, psychokinesis is treated as an alleged anomalous influence of mind on physical systems, not as established physics.
This matters because the CIA Reading Room materials validated here preserve discussions and summaries, while also containing an explicit caution about assigning observed effects to PK.
Institutional context can be certified only at the level shown: a repository holding multiple items on the topic, consistent with collection and assessment of open literature rather than confirmation of effects.
What remains unfilled, within this package, is the step that would move from reported claims to stabilized demonstration: primary protocols and raw data, plus independent replication and adversarial testing documentation.
The next unresolved question is procedural, not rhetorical: which primary documents would need to be retrieved, and what replication record exists, if any, beyond the summaries in this set.[6][7]
Where the record can certify, and where it permanently stops in this package
The opening question is not whether PK is true in general, but what this specific surfaced record can still certify.
It can certify that CIA Reading Room holdings include multiple items filed around psychokinesis and parapsychology, and that at least one item embeds a direct caution against over-attribution to PK.
It can also certify that a CIA-held report names Nina Kulagina and Alla Vinogradova as psychic subjects, and that the report records the phrase that they were studied extensively by Drs. Sergeyev and Adamenko.
Certification stops because the package does not surface the primary experimental protocols, controls, instrumentation logs, and raw data for those named-subject claims, and it does not include independent replication or adversarial testing documentation.
The only honest forward motion implied by this archive slice is retrieval: locate the original Soviet-era publications referenced indirectly by these summaries, then look for controlled replication records beyond what is included here.[2]
FAQs (Decoded)
Do CIA Reading Room documents prove psychokinesis is real?
No. In this validated set, the CIA appears as a repository for collected material, and one item explicitly warns against assigning observed effects to PK. Source: CIA Reading Room, PHYSICS, ENTROPY, AND PSYCHOKINESIS record.
Which named subjects appear in the CIA-held Soviet parapsychology summary?
The report text names Nina Kulagina and Alla Vinogradova as psychic subjects. Source: CIA Reading Room, SOVIET AND CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH PDF.
Does the phrase ‘studied extensively’ in that report establish scientific documentation?
It establishes that the phrase appears in the report, attributed there to Drs. Sergeyev and Adamenko, but it does not supply the underlying protocols or raw data in this package. Source: CIA Reading Room, SOVIET AND CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PARAPSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH PDF.
What kind of material is included in these CIA-held psychokinesis-related files?
The validated anchors describe summaries, translations, and collected discussions, including narrative-format material such as the metal-bending PDF. Source: CIA Reading Room, CIA-RDP96-00792R000400350005-1 PDF.
How is psychokinesis framed in parapsychology in this article?
It is framed as an alleged anomalous mind–matter influence as treated within parapsychology, not as established physics. Source: Rhine Research Center, Psychokinesis overview.
What is missing if someone wants to move from archived claims to stronger certification?
This package does not surface primary protocols, controls, instrumentation logs, raw data, or independent replication and adversarial testing documentation for the claimed effects. Source: CIA Reading Room, PHYSICS, ENTROPY, AND PSYCHOKINESIS record.
