The Nephilim were giants, the violent superhuman offspring produced when wicked angels mated with human women in the days of Noah.
The Bible account says that “the sons of the true God began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (Genesis 6:2) Those ‘sons of God’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against God when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—Jude 6; Genesis 6:2.
The hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children. (Genesis 6:4) The Nephilim were giant bullies, tyrants who filled the earth with violence. (Genesis 6:13) The Bible describes them as “the mighty ones of old times, the men of fame.” (Genesis 6:4) They left behind a legacy of violence and fear.—Genesis 6:5; Numbers 13:33.
The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington while flying his small plane. Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved “like saucers skipping on water.” In the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped, hence the term flying saucer.
Sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena increased, and in 1948 the U.S. Air Force began an investigation of these reports called Project Sign. The initial opinion of those involved with the project was that the UFOs were most likely sophisticated Soviet aircraft, although some researchers suggested that they might be spacecraft from other worlds, the so-called extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH). Within a year, Project Sign was succeeded by Project Grudge, which in 1952 was itself replaced by the longest-lived of the official inquiries into UFOs, Project Blue Book, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. From 1952 to 1969 Project Blue Book compiled reports of more than 12,000 sightings or events, each of which was ultimately classified as (1) “identified” with a known astronomical, atmospheric, or artificial (human-caused) phenomenon or (2) “unidentified.” The latter category, approximately 6 percent of the total, included cases for which there was insufficient information to make an identification with a known phenomenon.
Could giants have walked the Earth in bygone ages? Vedic śāstra as well as the Yavana and Mleccha scriptures such as the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, and countless legends around the world, say yes. But where is the evidence? In Rāmāyaṇa, the demon-king Rāvaṇa is portrayed as a giant, not as a human. To be exact, Rāvaṇa was a ten-headed giant. In the Mahābhārata, the demon rākṣasas are portrayed as giants. The Ādi-parva of Mahābhārata describes the birth of Ghatoṭkaca, the son of the she-demon Hiḍimbā and Bhīma. Make no mistake about it, Ghatoṭkaca was a giant, not a man. The Skanda Purāṇa (6.27) states that in Satya-yuga, an average human is five tālas high. (one tāla is the size of a palm tree). In Treta-yuga, an average human is one tāla high. In Dvapara-yuga, an average human is four to five hastas high (approx 6 -7.5 feet). As Kali-yuga advances, the average human reaches the height of 3.5 hastas (approx. 5 ft) and as Kali proceeds, humans continue to diminish. Ancient Greek mythology tells us of a plethora of giants, most notably the Thracian Gigantes. The Gigantes as they were called were oversized men, many of monstrous proportions, some with only one eye (such as Polyphemus, the Cyclops, son of Poseidon), or those with a hundred arms and fifty heads (the Hekatonkheires), man-eating giants (Laistrygonians) and many more, often said to be closely related to the gods.
In recent years, a new alternative world history claim has arisen from the Internet — and it's a doozy. It revolves around an alleged worldwide cataclysm believed by adherents to have taken place sometime in the 1800s, a disaster that wiped out a worldwide advanced civilization and allowed the nations as we know them today to rise up. The event was a "mud flood" in which several meters of mud washed in and buried the ground levels of houses and buildings everywhere. Those cities and towns that were partially buried constituted the worldwide advanced civilization called Tartaria, which had free wireless energy and was populated — at least in part — by giants. It was a civilization "reset": out with the old, in with the new; and that "new" civilization is us. If this sounds too silly to be worth anyone's time to even listen to, then consider the fact that of all the hundreds of topic suggestions in the Skeptoid queue, this is the one that I chose for this week. And I chose it for good reason, so attend.
