وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Friday 30th December 2016, the Hilal of Rabi-ul Thani 1438 AH was seen with difficulty (due to heavy clouds) from York Astronomical Society, York (UK) after sunset by myself and Br Aqaele Peeroo. 

The Hilal was over 33 hours old, but it was not seen yesterday when it was 9 hours old. According to Hadith, this is the first day's Hilal even though it may look big, because it was hidden the day before! See a short video report (2 mins) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUrBLJGlsY0" 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (the Blacksburg Middle School) at 5:26 pm EST (sunset: 5:13 pm).  The western horizon was partly cloudy with a large piece of cloud over the area where the moon supposed to be located.  I waited till 5:48 pm for the moon to show up in a small clearing.  It was thin but easy to spot.  The horns were at 3:00 and 7:30 O'clock (3:00;5:00;7:30).  I stayed there till 6:30 pm when the moon was still about 2 degrees above the horizon (moonset: 6:48 pm). "

The parameters are(at Colombol) Sun set:6.05pm. Moon set:7:04pm.
Lag=59minutes
The prediction of the astronomers=Crescent can be sighted easily.
I was associated by bro.Irfan Razik and students of higher grade from an arabic madrasah.
We couldn't sight it due to cloudy and the CGM Hilal Committee has received negative sighting reports right round the country.
Hence it was decided by the CGMH Committee which was precided by Moulana Riyad (Baari) along with ACJU and MRCA  to complete the proceeding month as 30 days and start the month of Rabeeunissanee on 1st of January 2017."
