Comment on "Correlation of the Highest-Energy Cosmic Rays with Nearby Extragalactic Objects"

Abstract
We argue that the data published by the Pierre Auger Collaboration (arXiv:0711.2256) disfavor at 99% confidence level their hypothesis that most of the highest-energy cosmic rays are protons from nearby astrophysical sources, either Active Galactic Nuclei or other objects with a similar spatial distribution.
