Didn't ask for BD.
Asked for UK/USA.
And it is not confirmed by moulana/ramjan committee.
Don't talk like an idiot.
It is confirmed by The National Moon Sighting Committee, headed by the State Minister of Religious Affairs. Secretary of the MoRA is the Vice-Chairman of the committee.
The committee works every month to determine the beginning and calculate the Arabic Hijri calender which is based on lunar cycles, subjected to its sighting. Only reason you get to hear more about them during Ramadan/Eid(s) because of the significance and practical relevance in our modern daily lives.
AFAIK, almost every country and specially those with sizable Muslim population has a moon sighting committee.
