An enemy alien MUST have los to mind control a trooper, but unlike our troopers who mind control an alien then they dissapear next turn caus of no los, i think the aliens still see thier target for one turn after the initial mind control. This is hard to put into words. Lets say i mind control a sectoid and then walk him into a room where noone can see him, brain_ph34r.gif on the next turn he will dissapear for me, but if i was an etheral, i think i would still see him, no matter where he is.[/b]
Makes sense, actually.

Also, the LOS calculations are not perfect and bugs sometimes occur. The alien may have been calculated to have LOS to your soldier by accident.
