Abstract
The arrival direction study of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays gives us potentially an insight on their origin. The High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) is a stereo air fluorescence experiment that detects cosmic rays with energies greater than $\sim $10$^{18}$ eV. The angular resolution of HiRes is approximately 0.6$^{\circ}$. This small uncertainty is well suited for small-scale anisotropy studies. Here we present the correlation of the observed cosmic rays by HiRes with some astronomical sources, in particular with BL Lac sources, which are a subclass of active galaxies.
