The possibilities for using the details of the cosmic ray primary energy spectrum above 10 exp 19 eV to provide information about the sources of these particles are reviewed. A measurement of the anisotropy and primary composition of the particles provides important clues which are useful for distinguishing between various origin theories. The poor event statistics at these energies point out the need for a new detector with a substantial improvement in the detection area. The capabilities and status of the High Resolution Fly's Eye; a proposed large collection area instrument which can provide an order of magnitude increase in detection area as well as improvements in directional and composition sensitivity are described.
