The most energetic cosmic rays so far detected have energies in excess
of 10 to the 20th eV. The techniques for detecting these events are
described, and measurements of their energy spectrum and arrival
direction distribution are used to argue that cosmic rays above 3 x 10
to the 19th eV are of extragalactic origin.
