...and I'll show you a base that stands a good chance of escaping detection. Yes, there are a number of techniques to spread out your heat signature to make it less noticeable. However, the greater the scale of the base, the greater the difficulty. If "base" consists of two half-pint little-green-men and a car-sized flyer putting out no more heat than my computer, then we won't see them - they'll look no different from a cave harboring a polar bear. If "base" is a construct capable of feeding and supporting a full-size cadre of observers over several decades, with multiple vehicles and repair facilities, then dispersing that heat signature becomes exponentially more difficult. Shield the base and send it all straight down into the deep earth, and you'd still get some increase in warmth that would gradually work its way to the surface over the years. Even if we're fooled into thinking it's a half-degree nidge over a hundred-square-mile area or a hundred scattered snow-rabbit dens, the region as a whole will look warmer and more active than it rightly should, and we'll be prompted to go find out why.
