وقال عضو المشروع المهندس محمد عودة "The crescent was seen by 9 persons by telescope. " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس جيرهارد أحمد  كوفمان "Despite very clear atmospheric conditions towards the western horizon, the crescent could not be spotted by binoculars or naked eyes. My location is close to the extreme visibility limits according to the Yallop criterion, so the main reason for not having been able to see the crescent is most likely the short lag time sunset-moonset of only 40 minutes and the still strong illumination of the sky background. Blessed Ramadân to all." 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "I observed the crescent with handheld binoculars before and after sunset. With the binoculars it was easy enough but i could not see the crescent with the naked eye. I also did some experiments with video observation through a DSLR, which also showed the crescent but this approach still needs some work." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الحسن طالبي "كان الرصد هذه المرة من مدينة مطار آكدير بالتنسيق مع الكابتن أحمد حومدي مدير  LCCTC وهي مدرسة لتكوين الربابنة والمضيفين فالشكر الجزيل له ولطلبته على كل ما قاموا به من أجل إنجاح عملية الرصد." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "The sky condition was so bad and clouds are present i managed to see the new crescent through my telescope for a few seconds and i managed to image it also after sunset , but i could not see it by naked eye due to my bad sky condition." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد تركي العمري "The sky condition was bad with AOD for 600 nm 0.6 i could hardly image the new crescent with 807 IR filter 1:00 pm LT , i will try to observe it after sun set " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "The Hilal of Ramadan was not seen in York (UK), but we did receive a fax from Morocco at 9.25 pm BST, Alhamdulillah" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (the Blacksburg Middle School) at 7:19 pm EDT (sunset: 8:32 pm).  The western horizon was clear with a few passing clouds.  Using a pair of binoculars (7X50), I started scanning the horizon, hoping to see the crescent prior to sunset.  That did not happen.  Later, a friend joined me; he was using a pair of 10X50 binoculars.  The first binocular sighting was at 8:36 pm followed by the first naked eye sighting at 8:40 pm.  The crescent was thin but easy to spot.  The horns were at 1:30 and 6:30 O'clock (1:30;4:00;6:30).  We left our sighting location for another place.  We continued our sighting there till 9:14 pm when we left for home.  At that time the moon was still about 2 degrees above the horizon (moonset: 9:35 pm).  Please note that the third picture is taken by Mr. Jim Lockyer of Wildomar, CA (from that location)."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد حزاري   حج علي أحمد "The official first day of Ramadan falls tomorrow (27th May 2017) in Brunei as the moon crescent was sighted by the officials (of the new moon sighting committee) in this country.

The members of Brunei Darussalam Astronomical Society organized the crescent sighting at Bukit Agok in Tutong. It was attended by 30 members including the public.

In the afternoon, the weather was cloudy on the western horizon at sun set but Jupiter was clearly seen at around zenith. Only at after 25 minutes after sunset that the ultra thin crescent (of 15 hour old) was firstly visible through CCD (Digital Camera) then sighted through 120mm refractor. It was not seen by the naked eyes.

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور عبد العزيز إبراهيم "The 1st Ramadan will correspond with 27 May 2017" 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد الرحمن رزين "Aalaikum.
Today 26-05-2017CE=29-08-1438AH is the sighting day for the month of Ramadan 1438AH in Srilanka.
 I was in Colombo Grand Mosque.The sky was totally  cloudy in Colombo.
 The parameters at Colombo are Sun set:6:20pm. Moon set:7:01pm. 
Lag=41minutes
The prediction of the astronomers=Crescent can be sighted if the atmosphere is clear.
Hilaal sighting groups was arranged right round the country.  A positive sighting report from one of the sighting group was recieved to CGM Hilaal Committee which is situated east coast called Nilaveli. The coordination is Lat-8d 41" Long 81d 11". sunset=6:17pm, Moonsighted at 6:35pm. The orientation was 3-7 o'clock.
The crescent was sighted by Moulavi Muaad, Bro. Ramzeen and Bro.Rafeeq. All 3 of them are frequent sighters for the last 2 years. According to my experience this sighting is doubtful but we have to accept it due for their consistent effort in moonsighting every month and their info was almost equal to the parameters. 
Hence it was decided at the Hilaal Committee conference at CGM which was presided by the CGMH Committee Deputy president Moulana Abdul Hameed (Bahji) along with ACJU and MRCA  to complete the proceeding month as 29 days and start the month of Ramadan on 27-5-2017CE."

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قاسم بهالي "The hilal was seen by others in Labuan, east Malaysia, after sunset." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد قمر الدين محمد "Alhamdulillah, at moment of giving up hope of seen the hilal of this Ramadan, it then emerged as a thin crescent from cloud at around about 9degree above western horizon. We are group of nine people among us are two underage children. All members of the group were able to sighted.  We observed it atop Ilorin central mosque at the front of Emir palace.
Also, there are lots of positive report from various places accross Nigeria.  Location are Sokoto, Gwandu, Birni Kebbi, Epe, Ikorodu, ikeja, Ajase-ipo, offa, ikotun(kwara state), ibadan and many other location.
This is the first in the modern Nigeria history that all Muslim are starting Ramadan on the same day. Alhamdulillah"
