The authors describe a unique experiment, the Fly's Eye, designed to measure extensive air showers (EAS) in the energy range 10/sup 17/ - 10/sup 21/eV via atmospheric fluorescence. Preliminary results are presented for the following measurements: (1) limits on the extragalactic neutrino flux at 10/sup 20/eV, (2) the high energy cosmic ray spectrum, (3) sources of high energy cosmic rays, (4) the total proton cross section sigma/sub pp.
