Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A farmer in the Salinas Valley in California woke up on Sunday morning to find a giant crop circle in his field.
The huge pattern was created by flattening some of crops in the field over the weekend. The circle was reported by two friends, who reportedly saw a couple of flashes of light before dawn on Sunday morning.
Security guards are keeping a close watch on the field and people are not allowed to enter to take a closer look.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for creating the crop circles near Monterey but they are attracting a lot of attention.
The intricate and digital-looking pattern covers about an acre of the field.
