وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "Weather conditions here in Munich were very bad on 27. June. A full cloud cover persisted into the afternoon when some gaps started to appear. I drove for 40 miles to find a place with a somewhat stable situation around 2 hours before sunset. Despite strong haze and billowing clouds with white skies near the sun the imaging system allowed to find the crescent. As the crescent would set before the sun anyway i ended the observation when the next cloudbank approached and went back home." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الحسن طالبي "السلام عليكم ورحمة الله تعالى وبركاته

وقال عضو المشروع السيد يونس  يعقوب "at 18hrs we were at the sighting venue 5 of us. the sun set at 18:33 behind cloud,its about to rain we had to leave the place at 18:50 and it rain heavily.

However, the Nigerian situation as regard moon sighting has deteriorated in that authorities announced wrongly; the start and finish dates, in other words; the official first of shawwal is today 27th July,2014.  " 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مارتن إليسياسر "The weather was ok during the day but clouds were predicted for the evening. The crescent was already quite wide but would set only a short time after the sun. I left my work early and tried a visual observation around 3h before sunset. I could see the crescent visually through a telescope at 32x using a red filter to dim the bright skies close to the sun. I had to wiggle the optics left and right to clearly see the (moving) crescent. The clouds arrived soon thereafter so there was no chance of observing the crescent after sunset. I also saw the crescent with the imaging system before the clouds got to thick." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور الحسن طالبي "خرجت لرصد اهللال رغم استيفائنا للثلاثين، وجدت السماء ملبدة بالغيوم، طلبت من الله أمرين: أن أراه ثم أن أصوره، كانت هناك فجوة افقية مناسبة لارتفاع الهلال، كان لدي يقين أنها المكان المناسب لرؤيته وبالفعل رايته بالمنظار الزوجي ثم أخذت له صورا دون أراه في شاشة آلة التصوير، وما تأكدت من تصويره إلا بعد أن رأيت الصور على الحاسوب. هذه هديتي لكم وعيدكم مبارك . توحي لي هذه الصور بواقع الأمة العربية الملبدة بغيوم الاستبداد والقهر والتخلف والأمل الصغير الدقيق الذي تظهر بوادره في صمود الشعوب خاصة الشعب الفلسطيني الأبي." 

وقال عضو المشروع الدكتور جواد تورابنيجاد "I arrived at my sighting location (Blacksburg Middle School) after sunset (sunset: 8:32 pm EDT).
