TITLE: New York Times : "The Pentagon's Mysterious UFO Program" (plus DeLonge's new website/videos)
SENTENCE 1: it isn't that USA is backward about it - it's pretending to be, while sitting on information that will change the world when released.the only question is - apart from "when will it be released", but judging by the article, not that far away - is Mr Bigelow just a scapegoat to be used to prepare the public for the real deal, or is he aware of the truth and it's all just smoke and mirrors he went through knowingly.
SENTENCE 2: they were given some money and allowed to do some research, because that way they were kept under control.
SENTENCE 3: after they've found some tidbits of sensitive information, their request to classify it further was denied.

Bias label: moderately
Annotator rationales:
if you claim that the USA government is deliberately holding UFO information, then you risk promoting conspiracy theories
if you claim that a person is a scapegoat, then you imply that he is being deliberately used to divert attention from the truth
if you say that is under control, then you affirm that the research is being manipulated without evidence
