In addition to all the serious answers that you received, here's another interesting point:
It is thought that many, if not most, of the tales of Greek and Roman myth are based on these people. If you think about the origins of characters such as Hercules you can see strong parallels to the account of the Nephilim.

Nephilim are supernatural beings, specifically offspring of human women and “sons of heaven” who appear in several books of the Bible, as well as in the Torah. They were thoguht to be giants.

In the Bible book of Genesis this is who they were;
Genesis6;1---6
in SHORT, PLEASE READ IT IN THE BIBLE, THEY WERE THE SONS OF fallen angels (Satan's followers) and of Human women, this produced a hybrid THAT, although unable to reproduce they were huge, angry Demi Gods who felled humans and took all they wanted for them selves. They and their Human Mothers were all destroyed in the flood of Noah's day.
The real meaning of Nephilim is this; nan-Naphli-lim' the FELLERS AS TH A TREE , FELLING OTHETR HUMANS IN THEIR WAKE, OR, CAUSING OTHERS TO FALL DOWN!

They are an analogy of the sky forcing the lizard people to retreat under the Earth. They might be beings from our Sun.

according to the bible, they had banged human women and were then buried under the earth
