Scientific paper

A very energetic cosmic ray of energy about (1.7-2.6)×1020 eV was observed by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array on 3 December 1993 from the direction of galactic longitude l=131° and galactic latitude b=-41° within an error circle of 1.0° radius. If this cosmic ray were a proton, its origin could be extragalactic. However, the distance of the source cannot be much more than a few times 10 Mpc due to the energy loss during its travel from interactions with universal background radiation.
