Tibando, Terry

Introduction

Terry (Terence) Tibando is an author known for the multi-volume series A Citizen’s Disclosure on UFOs and ETI, which presents a curated archive of UFO-related material framed as evidence of a persistent extraterrestrial presence and institutional concealment. His work fits a compendium genre: large-format, image-heavy volumes that function as both reference library and argument.

Background

Tibando’s approach is rooted in citizen publishing rather than academic or organizational ufology. The series positions itself as an accessible “global evidence” repository assembled outside government or mainstream media gatekeeping.

Ufology Career

Rather than conducting classic field investigations, Tibando builds a case through aggregation: collecting sightings, documents, historical narratives, and interpretive commentary into a structured series. This method emphasizes breadth over single-case depth.

Early Work (Year-Year)

The early phase is defined by launching the first volume(s) and establishing the series identity: large-scale presentation, extensive imagery, and a disclosure-oriented framing.

Prominence (Year-Year)

Prominence is niche but sustained through the accumulation of volumes and the appeal to readers who want a single “library set” supporting the disclosure worldview.

Later Work (Year-Year

Later work continued expanding the series into additional thematic volumes, extending beyond Earth-focused UFO history into broader ETI civilization speculation and communication themes.

Major Contributions

• Created a large-format, multi-volume citizen archive for disclosure-oriented audiences.
• Strengthened the compendium style of ufology argumentation: “quantity and curation” as persuasion.
• Contributed to the modern self-published UFO evidence economy.

Notable Cases

Tibando’s work typically references many cases rather than championing one. The “notable cases” are those given high visual and documentary treatment within his volumes.

Views and Hypotheses

The series supports the hypothesis that UFO phenomena represent nonhuman technology and that governments have engaged in long-term concealment. It frames citizen publication as a corrective to institutional opacity.

Criticism and Controversies

Compendium-style works are often criticized for treating collection as proof: assembling many disputed items can create a cumulative impression without resolving authenticity or alternative explanations for each element.

Media and Influence

Influence is primarily within disclosure and archival-collector communities that value comprehensive visual documentation and the feel of an “evidence library” in print form.

Legacy

Tibando’s legacy is tied to scale: the ambition to compile a civilian disclosure library that readers can cite, display, and treat as a one-stop documentary corpus.
