	The aliens will occasionally set up shop earthside in an underground base. Their operations need to be shut down, and the only way to do that is send troops in and clear it out. Alien bases are normally hidden on the Geoscape. To find them, you need to leave an X-Com craft flying over them for a short period. X-Com undercover agents will occasionally ~~find~~ a base ~~for~~ you, but that shouldn't be relied upon.		The aliens will occasionally set up shop earthside in an underground base.
