We present the results of searches for correlation between ultra--high-energy cosmic rays observed in stereo mode by the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment and objects of the BL Lac subclass of active galaxies. In particular, we discuss an excess of events correlating with confirmed BL Lacs in the Veron 10th Catalog. As described in detail in Abbasi et al. (2005), the significance level of these correlations cannot be reliably estimated due to the a posteriori nature of the search, and the results must be tested independently before any claim can be made. We identify the precise hypotheses that will be tested with independent data.
