After New Midnight News Years Twilight Flag

After the ball drops in your time zone, this flag goes up.  It is an indicator that the Old Year is still here!  An official day for the entire planet lasts more than 24 hours.  Thus the transition period between the New Year and Old Year is the summation of all its time zones.  Naturally there are 24 time zones but Kiribati jumps the gun and two hours ahead of everyone else.  Likewise UTC time is a zero time zone as well.

Think of it this way, one hour before the ball drops in Times Square, the New Year has already begun in London and Tokyo.  Consequently the Old Year is still hanging around, some where on planet Earth.   Then two hours later after the ball drops in NYC, Los Angeles is still in the past...with only two hours to go.  Bottom line is that the Old Year does not officially disappear until high noon at London.

Basically each time zone has a different hour upon which the echo of last year if officially over on January 1st for: NYC it is at 7:00am;  for Chicago and most of Texas it is at 6:00am; for Denver it is at 5:00am, for the West Coast it is at 4:00am, for Alaska 3:00am,  for Hawaii 2:00am, for American Samoa 1:00am.  The only place that can fly this flag with the 'dropping of a ball' is the last time zone...which just happens to belong to the USA: Baker and Howland Island.  They are the proverbial tail end time gunners, thus it is the USA that gets the last word in for Old Year.

Thus the last place to celebrate the New Year is in the USA.  If you want to be that Omega Wolf of sorts you have to travel to Baker or Howland Island.  No doubt in the near future, these two places will host New Year Eve parties for the special and extremely wealthy.

Is to be flown anywhere just after New Years, until the last time zone drops the ball so to speak.  The field is a violet twilight with a black hour glass with yellow embers glowing on the sides to represent the passing of the Old Year is not complete, rather that we are on the cusp of Old and New Year on a planetary level. 

If you want to really be dead last officially, the party should be held on Howland, since it is a little be further east than Baker.  It is like the difference between twins, which the older twin is older by few minutes.   Thus the east end of Howland Island is the last place on planet Earth to say goodbye to the New Year.

Instead of ball as in NYC and conch as in Key West, the dropping of the New Year on Howland Island is big Glowing Pineapple.
