We calculate angular correlation function between ultra-high energy cosmicrays (UHECR) observed by Yakutsk and AGASA experiments, and most powerful BLLacertae objects. We find significant correlations which correspond to theprobability of statistical fluctuation less than $10^{-4}$, including penatlyfor selecting the subset of brightest BL Lacs. We conclude that some of BL Lacsare sources of the observed UHECR and present a list of most probablecandidates.Comment: Replaced with the version accepted for publication in JETP Let
