Well its still possible to induce an artificial magnetic field around a base with technology.
either way, you wouldn't have a INHABITED base without some form of shielding

no they haven't found any alien shield generators. Any race advanced enough to have that technology on the moon would obviously have some kind of defensive system in place, to turn off the shield generators when foreign species are detected probing the area.

I didn't say that they can't be built. If you place right shaped magnet somewhere or power up such and such constructed electromagnet then you got a magnetosphere.
Earth magnetosphere is generated by rotation of outside part of globe against core - it's basically dynamo. Some metals may become very strong permanent magnets. What I pretend is that under moon surface are spots of such magnetized rock and "micro-spheres" are thus relatively small magnetic fields around those spots. It is consistent with theories of moon development.
That is my understanding of the article which is more plausible to common sense then mysterious unnatural spheres. I do not see any metal balls anywhere. May be I'm just blind.
As for "atom" thing:
SARA will be the first-ever energetic neutral atom imaging mass spectrometer used for planetary exploration.
I'm not specialist in the field but I understand this: SARA use some type of passive spectrometer - so this device do not use own energy to excite atoms but is based on solar wind/cosmic radiation energy input. SARA basically measure changes in solar/stellar energy reflected by Moon surface. Every molecule, every atom will somehow affect this reflection. That is my understanding. It doesn't mean that SARA is able to do "images with resolution of atoms" (my understanding of yours post) - that is field of electron microscopy.
Again I'm not any expert I just use common sense and public sources. You can easily find principles of spectrometry and realize why this setup is inovation.
EDIT to add:
As I think about it then SARA is type of automatic prospector looking for valuable sources.

"This is the first step towards the confirmation of a theoretical suggestion that mini-magnetosphere can be produced," he said.

MAGNETIC FIELDS ARE SPHERICAL
the earth has a magnetosphere (= MAGNETIC SPHERE) around it. that sphere is not a cube. it is not a triangle. it is a sphere. Thats why it is called the magnetoSPHERE.
if you take a sphere and cut it in half, you get a dome. so half of the sphere is projecting out of the moon in the shape of a dome and the other half goes into the moon.
Then you need to understand the difference between macro and micro.
Macro means of the whole, micro means a portion of the whole.
so a macro magnetosphere would surround the whole planet. the earth has a macro magnetosphere. The sun has a macro magnetosphere. The moon COULD have a macromagnetosphere if it was volcanically active. The moon however has micro magnetospheres, because they do not cover the entire planet, only certain portions of it and are induced by magnetic remnants in the crust, not a rotating molten iron core.

If the magnetic "spheres" on the moon are in fact like domes it is possible that humans or aliens have bases or ships on the moon.
The spherical magnetic field could serve 2 purposes. 1 to stop incoming radiation from the sun and 2 to generate a gravitational field so the people/aliens can move around under an earth type gravity environment.
According to Extended Heim Theory, a powerful magnetic field generated by a circular magnetic coil combined with a rapidly rotating ring/disc/flywheel/(liquid contained in a coil) above the magnetic coil would generate a gravitational field and could be used for propulsion. The German scientists who presented their paper to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics won an award for their work from the AIAA.
If the flywheel was under the magnetic coil it stands to reason that instead of generating a gravitational field that would propel the base away from the moon it would instead propel the base into the moon, since the base and moon are stationary it could conceivably generate a gravitational field much like the one we have on earth.
Without getting better details of the exact nature of the magnetic fields detected on the moon it is impossible to say what the phenomenon really is.

Amazing that people are trying to read so much into this... aliens, force fields, metallic balls, stuff that shouldn't be on the moon. Take a look at this. It describes magnetic fields on Mars and magnetoshperes. The ones on Mars are similar to those on the moon, I'm guessing, created by crustal magnetic fields:
