Scientific paper

The evidence that cosmic rays exist with energies >= q1020eV is now overwhelming with rthe ecent results reported by the AGASA array. If the cosmic rays are conventional particles their sources must be at distances less than 100 Mpc. At these energies and these distances it is likely that the cosmic rays will point to their sources. A vast array of ideas as to their origin have been proposed. The very fact that there is such a plethora of explanations is indicative of both the scientific excitement and the complete lack of understanding of the sources and production mechanisms. This is a situation calling for more sensitive experiments which are now under preparation.
