Salaam,
The following are two articles on the issue of moon sighting. The first is by our Shaykh Muhammad Afifi Al-Akiti on the Fiqhi aspect and the second by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf on a more broader analysis of the issue. I hope this is beneficial.

Ramadan Kareem… Hope you have a terrific and eman-raising ramadan.
I would also like to point you and your readers to a great article posted (perhaps a bit late at least for start of this Ramadan) on moonsighting by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi:
