وقال عضو المشروع السيد عبد الصمد دكان "جمعية المبادرة المغربية للعلوم والفكر:صور مراقبة جهة الغرب بالناضور لحظة غروب القمر عند الساعة 19:13 بالتوقيت المحلي, وسوف تشارك الجمعية غذا في مراقبة هلال رمضان مع المندوبية الاقليمية لوزارة الأوقاف والشؤون الاسلامية بالناضور فوق صومعة المسجد الكبير بحي المطار" 

وقال عضو المشروع المهندس مثنى السراي "السلام عليكم و رحمة الله وبركاته

غربت الشمس في ولاية اركنسو (مدينة فيتفل) في الساعة 8:15 مساءا بتوقيت المنطقة الوسطى وغرب القمر في الساعة 8:37 مساءا و كان يبعد عن موقع غروب الشمس 7 درجات و يرتفع عن الافق 4 درجات و بنسبة اضاءة تقدر 0.6 % و نظرا لكون المنطقة لازالت مغطاة ببعض الغيوم و نسبة اضاءة الهلال قليلة لذا لم تتم مشاهدته و العلم عند الله." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد جيم ستام "The "Clear Sky Chart" showed all aspects of the sky to be superb, and all day the sky looked very promising.  However, at sunset very subtle bands of light clouds showed  on the western horizon.  I was well prepared, and found my stars easily centered in the eyepiece FOV before sunset.  So I was confident that I held the precise location and focus to see the crescent if it was visible.  There was little color and the sky looked clear through the new (25mm) eyepiece,  but there was no crescent seen through the last 2 degrees to the negative horizon.  I swept the FOV during the last minute of observation." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The New (Waxing) Crescent of Ramadhan 1439 A.H was NOT SEEN on Tuesday, 15 May 2018 from Assalaam Observatory, The Modern Boarding School of Islam ASSALAAM, Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo, Central Java Indonesia.

The prediction of the seasoned astronomers=Easily Visible to the Naked eye.
To avoid erroneous, Hilaal sighting groups which comprises representatives from CGM Hilaal committee and ACJU Hilaal Committee was arranged right round the country.
We at Bambalapitiya could not sight it due to bad weather and the CGM also received negative reports from islandwide.
   The Hilaal Committee conference at CGM which comprises CGM Trustees,CGM Hilaal Committee,ACJU Hilaal Committee,representatives of MRCA and Hanafi Jumuah Masjid  decided under the leadership of the CGMH Committee president Moulana Abdul Hameed (Bahji) along with ACJU and MRCA  to complete the proceeding month as 30 days and start the month of Ramadan on 18-05-2018CE.

وقال عضو المشروع السيد عثمان دوكو "It was cloudy in Bauchi; thus we were forced to cancel our plan to observe the crescent. However, we received credible reports from our collaborators in five other states: Gombe, Adamawa, Kaduna, Zamfara and Rivers." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد سوجنج  رياضي "The old crescent of Shaban 1439 AH was SEEN on Monday, 14 May 2018 from Rowasiya Observatory at Bendo Ketitang Juwiring Klaten and from Assalaam Observatory at PPMI Assalaam Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo, Central Java Indonesia. The sky was very clear." 

وقال عضو المشروع السيد ريان مجاجي "بالرغم من غروب القمر بعد غروب الشمس ب 5 دقائق الا انه كان من المستحيل مشاهدة الهلال لعمره الصغير حيث قدر بأربع ساعات و جزئه المضيء 0،6٪ فقط فعليه كان الفاتح من رمضان 1439 يوم 17 مايو 2018
تقبل الله منا و منكم"
