What time was on the ‘destination time’ when Marty travels to 1955. I can see it’s Nov 5th 1955 and then the hour is 06 but you don’t see what minutes?

Have looked online and seen a few different times on replica models/posters but need to know the exact time.

  • The Fandom site for BttF claims Marty arrives at 6:15 a.m, however, they don't mention their source for this time.

The photo below is a screen shot of Marty and the Delorean screaming away from the Peabody Farm. As you can see, the skyline is showing the first blush of dawn's early light. enter image description here

As shown in the rough wild west map of Back to the Future III, Hill Valley is in Northern California. According to sunrise times for November 5th, that makes it about 6:39 AM. I'm not sure how that fandom site is 24 minutes off. Ah, well.

  • Maybe it's on a mountain that's much higher than everything in the east, so sunset is earlier. I know the picture makes it look like there are taller mountains in the east, which obviously means the cameras tilted.
