I remember hearing or reading about these.

They are fraudulent is all I remember. Sauce to part suckers from their money. On the level of fakery of the Mormon stuff

There is a book of Enoch.

But, I am not so sure I would put a lot of faith into it. My guess is it so old it more Sumerian lore than anything related to Jewish tradition.

There are books of Enoch which mention “heavenly tablets”, but the books are treated as pseudepigrapha. That last term says that scholars even consider the attribution to Enoch to be false. Someone else wrote the books and put Enoch’s name on them in order to give them some stature.

The books of Enoch are considered Old Testament pseudopigrapha. There are plenty of New Testament psuedeprigraphic texts, usually with the names of some Apostle. The early church excluded such texts from the New Testament canon due to their suspect provenance.

The Book of Enoch PDF - Scriptural-Truth.com

Enoch is a very interesting character.

Enoch was the son of Jared (Genesis 5:19–21), the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah. The Bible says that Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_%28ancestor_of_Noah%29

Enoch is mentioned at least a dozen times in the Bible.

Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: "He could not be found, because God had taken him away." For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

If found one under water but was skeptical. A friend said, "Don't Enoch it till you dry it."
