Invisible enemies?
I finished the game on Normal and didn't have many bugs. But then I started a Classic Ironman game and I noticed right away that aliens were dissapearing.

I quit in frustration after the second time I made a single move, no aliens in sight, went for the dash, and BAM i'm like 2 squares away from an alien in a square I just ran by.

I had something like that happen to me on normal. I was doing a terror mission and moved a troop to flank and get to 2 people, then out of no where 2-3 heavy floaters came into being not 2 spaces from that troop. On the aliens turn no less.

I had eyes on damn near every square on the map at one time or another and didn't see these guys. Roof was cleared, both allyways where scouted, and I had full control of the one building. The only place I didn't have eyes on was behind a van where 2 people where taking cover. If the floaters where tucked behind the same van. Then, why didn't they kill the people before hand like the other 6 I had no chance to save?

Its apparently something to do with how the AI patrols.
To save time on their turn instead of walking everywhere aliens teleport from patrol point to patrol point when off screen. They are ment to remove the patrol point from the list of places to go if you have LOS on it, and instead 'walk' into screen, but it seams to be buggy. Next patch is ment to address this, can only hope it fixes it (as it can destroy you in clasic/impos with ironman on)

No, they sometimes even spawn invisible, you send a rocket to that lockation then walk there. On their turn enemies show up like they would be there all the time and shoot your squad like fish in the barrel.
