We analyse the distribution of position angles of 1 million galaxies from the Hyperleda catalogue, a sample that presents the galaxies coordinates in the celestial sphere, information that allows us to look for a possible privileged direction. Our analysis involves different tests and statistical methods, from which it is possible to infer with high probability ($p$-value extremely low) that the galactic planes are not randomly oriented in the sky. Whether this is an evidence of a cosmological anisotropy or an observational bias due to local effects is something deserving further studies.
