USA: [ol]
[li]Not Seen: ICOP member, Dr. Salman Shaikh said: “There were no authenticated Hilal sighting reports anywhere in North America on Sunday, August 31 evening. The National Ulema & Astronomers Conference declared Ramadhan start on Tuesday September 2nd. Ramadan Mubarak. Hundreds of experienced observers scattered from Albany NY to Brownsville, TX and several places in California tried to sight the Hilal and confirmed that the Ramadan Hilal was not visible anywhere inspite of clear skies. The decision to start Ramadan Tuesday is UNAINAMOUS for all the Hilal Sighting Committees of North America including New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Texas, California, Toronto etc. and also endorsed by ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America), Zaytuna Institute, Shariah Board of America, Ulema Council of North America and many others Alhamdulillaah. PLEASE ENCOURAGE ALL IN NORTH AMERICA TO REGISTER WITH THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS BY CLICKING THE LINK Hilal Sighting Committee - Registration TO GET HILAL ALERTS Insha’Allaah. It only takes about 2 minutes and is Free. May Allaah SWT guide and help all Ummah with all the best. Aameen.” [/li][li]ICOP member, Dr. Mohib. N. Durrani said: “It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that there were NO AUTHENTIC sightings of the Hial in North America. I talked to some who had seen something from Albany, NY but upon verification it was determined that they had seen something but it was NOT A HILAL. The major Islamic Organizations (other than ISNA) are starting Ramadan 1429 AH from Tue 2 Sept 2008. These organizations are:[LIST=1][/li][li]ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America)[/li][li]Chicago Hilal Committee (for all of greater Chicago)[/li][li]Zaytuna Institute[/li][li]Shariah Board of America[/li][li]Ulema Council of North America[/li][/ol]Despite clear skies in many places NO HILAL WAS VISIBLE from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Texas, California, Toronto.”
[li]Not Seen/Hazy/Partly Cloudy: ICOP member Mr. Clay Chip Smith said: “From the 17th floor of the RLM Building at the University of Texas in Austin Texas USA, the Horizon was evident, but haze and thin clouds obscured the lower ~7 degrees of sky. No Hilal was seen on Sunday August 31 from sunset till 30 minutes after sunset, when we quit trying. Austin has a sighting effort for all 12 months of the year.” [/li][li]Not Seen/Partly Cloudy: ICOP member Mr. Jim Stamm said: “There was a break in the clouds about 2 degrees above the horizon, but the crescent was not seen at the caculated time.” Mr. Stamm used 8" telescope.[/li][/LIST]
