Nephilim are figures named in Genesis 6:1–4 of the Hebrew Bible, sometimes interpreted as giants or the offspring of “sons of God” and human women. Within the theological-uap-framing strand they recur as a Christian-eschatological reading of UAP — non-human beings that are not extraterrestrial but rather supernatural or “fallen angel” entities.
In the vault, the Nephilim framing surfaces from two strands:
- Rep. lauren-boebert (R-CO) — May 2026 podcast: “There’s nothing that says that fallen angels, that Nephilim just disappeared. I do believe that this is more spiritual, and, if you really want to go there, demonic.” (src-religious-republicans-uap-files-2026-05)
- Pentecostal evangelist perry-stone — claims of unnamed pastors briefed by U.S. officials to prepare churches for UFO disclosure (src-perry-stone-pastor-briefing-2026-05).
- Rep. anna-paulina-luna has separately pointed followers to the Book of Enoch (Watchers / Nephilim canon) post-PURSUE launch (src-newsweek-luna-teases-disclosure-2026-05).
