وقال عضو المشروع السيد بابا عبد الله "Date of sighting effort; Tuesday June 16, 2015. The crescent was NOT seen in this location. I  was at the sighting post from about 18:07 to about 18:26 local time but I did not see the crescent. It was drizzling quite heavily for the most part of the period of my sighting effort. Moon age after conjunction (as at sunset in Tamale) was only about 4 hours, with a moon lag time of about only 3 minutes; hence I really did not expect to see the crescent. Sighting community; Sagnerigu, Tamale." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد العزيز أنيانج "As at 21:40 GMT, there was no reported information of the sighting of the new crescent from any of the other nine regions of Ghana and hence the chairman of the National Hilal Committee of Ghana issued a statement for Ramadan 1436 AH to continue on Friday July 17 and the Eid follows on Saturday July 18.  May Allah accept our fasting...AMEEN." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد العزيز أنيانج "The new crescent was not seen and is not expected to be seen." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد المغربي "بداية شهر شوال في بلدي ليبيا هي يوم الجمعة الموافق 17-07-2015 بشهادة بعض الهواة الذين قامو بتحريه ورصده بتقنية التصوير الفلكي بمدينة الابيار بالشرق الليبي وإفادتهم برؤيته وأيضا على شهادات دول الجوار ....... وكل عام وانتم بخير ." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيدة بسمة ذياب "It was a hot Summer day with a clear sky. We the Jordanian astronomical society and ICOP members in addition to some families and friends gathered in a location in( west of Amman). And by a 25*100 binocular we could see this crescent. ( only 4 persons could see it).The first one was Ibraheem Odwan, then Abd Sallam Ghaith, . This pic was taken by Mahmoud Abd AL Hadi. AS usual...we have a stargazing activity ." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد أبو عمار  مانجورانجو "A group of devout Muslims headed by Hadji Satar Laguindab tried to observe the hilal after sunset, Wednesday the 17th, at the seashore of Binalbagan City, Central Philippines, where there was a good view of the western horizon.

Unfortunately,none of them saw the hilal, although weather was fairly good, lagtime was about 37 minutes and moon age was a little over 20 hours. They left the site after moonset.

Hence, based on actual sighting we decide to start Ramadhan on Friday, the 19th of June, insha allah. But the majority of the Muslims in the Philippines follow the dating of Saudi Arabia which starts Ramadhan Thursday, the 18th. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The weather forecast for the evening was bad so i had to try daytime observation. Skies were cloudy at home around noon so i drove some 50km to the north to find clear spots. The blue patches of sky were of good quality and the crescent was wide at 12° elongation so i could easily image the crescent. I did not try visual observation due to technical problems." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "The western horizon in our town (Blacksburg) was partly cloudy and perhaps it was the main reason that the crescent was not sighted.  The crescent has been sighted in other locations in the US (Tuscaloosa, AL; Loma Linda, CA: San Jose, CA, and Wildomar, CA).  The report here is from Mr. Jim Lockyer of Wildomar.  Mr. Lockyer reported that the sky was hazy but clear.  He also mentioned that "The moon was not very bright as you can see from the photos and video. If one had not been looking for it, it could have been easily missed.""

وقال عضو المشروع السيد ظفار شريف "The hazy condition did pose a challenge to sight the 25 hour old crescent.Our group of 30 people plus finally confirmed sighting at 6.37PM, about 23 minutes after local sunset.
Ramadhaan Kareem" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبد العزيز إبراهيم "The Ramadaan Hilaal was sighted by naked-eye from various areas in Southern Africa: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, and Lesotho." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد نولار باري "Today 29th.Shahban 1436 (17/06/2015) cloudy evening in Colombo and almost entire country's sky was covered with cloud and  it's a rainy day too. All the Moon sighting members right around the country reported negative sighting of Ramadan Hillal. Hence Our Colombo Grand Mosque Hillal Committee decided to complete the Month of Shahban with 30 days and start the Holy Month of Ramadan on Friday 19th.June 2015. "In Sha Allah" 
" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد الرحمن رزين "A.alaikum.In Srilanka sighting day for the month of Ramadan was on 17th evening of June 2015.The parameter's are as follows
   Sunset:6:27pm,
   Moonset:7:12pm,
   Elongation:11deg 57mnt,
   Altiutude:  9deg 13mnt
   Illumination:1.09%
   Iag:45mnt's
   Distance 386000km
   I went to my sighting place 20mnt,s before Sunset and the group's which was organized around our country was also asked to be in there respective places 20 mnt's before Sunset inorder to track the exact sighting place and to justify whether sighting will be possible after Sunset.
   According to the v/curve map i guided them that if the crescent has to be sighted then the western horizon should be 100% clear without any obstructs and the sighter should have an experience in Moonsighting.The reason for these condition's was though the above parameter's show's that the crescent can be seen by everyone but in today's sighting condition it need's to be more careful due to the moon's distance from the earth.
     But eventually the weather in all around our country was not favorable for sighting. Some places it was raining and some it was covered with thick clouds.So it was decided by the Colombo Grand Mosque Hilal Committee headed by Al-Alim Riyadh along with ACJU and MRCA that the month of Shaban will be completed 30 day's and the 1st of Ramadan falls on Friday." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس منذر  الشيباني "The Crescent was not seen in this location, I started observing at 18:20 before sunset to 19:34 moonset UTC+4. The atmospheric condition was very hazy and dusty at the horizon with some clouds. However the Crescent was sighted in different location (Ibri and Mahaza) by other team members." 

وقال عضو المشروع الأستاذ دكتور محمد سالم البوسعيدي "The western sky was full of dust, haze and some clouds. However, we were able to sight the Ramadhan Crescent moon immediately after sunset and we kept tracking the moon for sometime. " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد بابا عبد الله "Date of sighting effort; Wednesday June 17, 2015. The crescent was SEEN by others in Wineba town. Personally, I did not see the crescent from my usual sighting post in Tamale. However, I have duly confirmed from Brother Bawah Suhununu who saw the crescent himself with his naked eyes in Wineba town, where he is presently attending school. Brother Suhununu is a former Imam of Tamale Polytechnic. Many reports have already come in about the sighting. It has also been announced on radio that the crescent was sighted in Accra and Wineba, by many people." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قاسم بهالي "Hilal Ramadhan was not seen at Al-Khawarizmi Observatory. The western horizon totally cloudy." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور ساني مصطفى "The usual stars heralding the appearance of the moon were  visible immediately after sunset.  " 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قمر الدين محمد "It was a little hazy and cloudy at western horizon at ilorin and some other places where I got information from. However, observation information from Edo, Ikirun and Enugu confirmed Positive naked sighting while that of sokoto observation sighted the new hilal with telescope only. Ramadan Mubarak's to all Muslim." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عثمان النافطي "This period is the rainy season here so the weather today was very cloudy here in Bauchi and partly rainy.  So the crescent could not be seen." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد يونس  يعقوب "In Bauchi it has Rain an hour before the setting time and up till sunset the western sky was cloudy" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد صموال جبريل "The western horizon was clear no clouds but hazy."
