Secret Life: Professor Hid Lifetime of UFO Interaction
A Ph.D. agricultural engineer, Dave Shoup kept the lid on UFOs that have popped in and out of his life since age 5 — now he tells his story.
Dave Shoup, Ph.D., enjoyed a long career as a successful academic and research scientist. He earned his doctorate degree in agricultural engineering from Purdue University in 1980. By that time, he already built a considerable résumé working for top-flight companies in the ag sector, including writing computer simulation code for International Harvester where he also worked as a sales engineer.
After he nailed down his Ph.D., he accepted a job as a professor of agricultural and biological engineering at Florida States University.
