I would be curious to hear the perspective of those who believe in the God of the bible on what the Nephilim are as mentioned in Genisis...
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4 NASB)

What would you add on the OP? Any thoughts, opinions or otherwise?

The sons of God were the fallen angels, cast out of Heaven with Lucifer. The daughters of men were, well, daughters of men.
The Nephilim were their offspring, giants, "mighty men which were of old, men of renown".
This, of course, was a bad thing, and many have cited this verse as one more of God's reasons for the Flood, to eliminate this group of beings.
There are people who claim these beings were indeed giants, 7 to 8 feet tall, some even taller, usually with six fingers upon each hand. They claim there have been remains of these beings found many places around the world.

Horny aliens sounds more likely than horny fallen angels.

Not necessarily. These were fallen angels, and therefore already evil. It might not have taken much to get them ready to go, if you get my meaning.
Although I do remember reading something (I can't remember from where) about the sons of God looking upon the daughters of men and "finding them fair".
