When did the current flash sale start?

Did anyone catch the starting time of the current (Andrey Pestryakov, Crybaby25, Collective3D) flash sale?

I popped in around 5:40pm and saw it. "Test shopped" and through the magic of stacking discounts I ended up with everything in the flash sale being 82% off or more. So, thinking somewhere along the lines of "I don't know how long it lasts or how much of that time has already gone past, but flash sales probalby start and end on the hour, so there's a chance it might end in 20 minutes. Better get moving".

So, I "power shopped" for 15 minutes and stocked up on a whole bunch of  landscapes, environments, buildings, neighborhoods, etc. (and yes, a couple of today's new items, and some featured artist items and a couple of fast grab, too. All in all, 44 items) and prepared to check out at 5:55. It went fine, got a bunch of good stuff at great prices (by my standards, this was the best day of the PA sale. Especially since I paid for it with money I'd gotten at 20% off in the first days of the sale, which basically made the flash sale 86% off). But I digress.

So, sometime after 6, I refreshed. A little less rushed, I reviewed my purchase from a few minutes before and concluded "yeah, nothing really needs to be returned, I did OK" and then checked to see if there was either a new flash sale or if the old one was still going on. Old one was still going on, so I shopped some more, but more leisurely and ended up with another 14 items. All in all, a good shopping day.

Then 7:00 came and went. Then 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00, and the flash sale is unchanged. Why can't they put an "ends at 8:00" in the corner of the sale? Or pull an Amazon and give it a doomsday clock "sale ends in 1 hour 12 minutes"? But I digress, again.

So I'm curious about when it started (which someone should know) when it will end (which I guess I won't find out until it ends) and what comes next.

Am I the only person that this sort of thing drives bonkers?

    I got the email from the app at 2:15 Eastern time, so I guess it would have started around noon Daz time.
