They can be tested, at least partially, by ultra-high energy cosmic ray experiments like the Pierre Auger Observatory.

It was Alan Watson who in the later years lead the research team and subsequently co-initiated Auger Observatory Collaboration.

Meanwhile, from the Volcano Ranch (New Mexico, 1959–1978), the Fly's Eye (Dugway, Utah) and its successor the High Resolution Fly's Eye Cosmic Ray Detector called "HiRes" or "Fly's Eye" (University of Utah), the technique of the Fluorescence Detector was developed.
