The bomb was dropped at 8:15 in that morning of august 6 1945. Enola gay, the plane which carried it, lifted up from Tinian airfield located in the Marian Islands. As a matter of fact, the same airfield was used for the Nagasaki bomb. What time did the plane leave the airfield? A calculated hour and a half is a good estimate. This is what any person could tell you about the time since lift up time is not included in the records. Maybe some one with knowledge a bit more than public records will update the answer.
