"I cant even begin to tell you how many times I've see large darbars suddenly appear at a base 2 sectors back then suddenly dissapear."
Or, if there is a large darbar in a sector, but none of the bases or strategic targets are flashing, and there is nothing within radar range of a base, you can work out where they are by elimination. I have intercepted bombers that were skirting around the edge of base radar because (paradoxically), by doing so, they were leaving only a small part of the sector in which to search. If they had sent out some fighters to mill around as "chaff", showing up on the radar and flashing the bases, the bombers might have slipped through in the confusion.
The darbar swell is the thing. They try to be clever, by climbing their bombers in a spiral, taking care not to pass the sector edges, but they give themselves away.
