1) Though it is possible for external x-com agents to locate alien bases ,
dont rely on them too heavily.  Its far better to watch for alien activity
on the graphs, Looking for locations where there are reports of high alien
activity without any interception.

2) Strangely a slow craft like the good old skyranger actually has excellent
scanning range, nad it is therefore perfewct for spotting alien bases.

3) You should also watch UFOs` flight patterns. If you should lose tracking
during a chase, rather than just heading for their last known position and
patrolling, try to guess where they were heading and follow that course for
as long as you can.
