St. Thomas said the Second Person of the Trinity could assume more than one type of human (i.e., intelligent embodied) nature (but he seems to think He hasn't).
Well, aliens aren't human, so your argument is defeated.

Were the nephalim not intelligent? Who knows.

My main problem with those who hold the theory of intelligent alien lifeforms is that, being intelligent, they would be capable of sin, and being the subjects of sin, they would be in need of the Blood of the Redeemer.  Essentially, maintaining these extra-terrestrial beings to exist is essentially affirming that there are intelligent beings (not angels) who are not corrupted by sin and potentially not in need of redemption.  This is heretical on the face of it.

That's nice, but that's his purely speculative opinion akin to the angels on the head of a pin ... and anything he speculated is trumped by any papal teaching.
