To find the Book of Enoch you can look here.
Go to www.sacred-texts.com, click on Bible from the left hand list of texts, scroll down and click on the Book of Enoch. I think there is some information about the fallen angels in chapters LKIV and LKV. Also on the index page there is a section titled Book of Noah fragment, I think there is some more information on them there. In addition, from the Bible index page you can scroll down to the forgotten books of Eden and click there and then there is another section titled The Book of Secrets of Enoch.
I know the jest of the story which is supposed to be some reference from this passage in Genesis
When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal [b]; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown
Supposedly the story believed by some is that the Nephilim
were fallen angels, wathchers or the Annanuki the gods from the Sumerian texts, (Annuanki means those from heaven to earth came), and that because they mated with the daughters of men they were punished and cast into the pit, and mankind was punished with the flood but because Noah's generations were righteous (his bloodline) he and his family was saved.
However, on a personal note I find this line about Noah very interesting. Back on the sacred texts web site, if you click on bible, then the book of Enoch, then scroll down to where is says Fragment book of Noah, chapter CVI and CVII (this is not the same one I told you to go to earlier), it tells a story of when Noah was born and his father Lamech went to his father saying that he did not think Noah was his child because his skin was white and his hair was white as wool and his eyes shown like the sun and lit up the whole house with light and that he was afraid that he was one of the sons of god's son.
I have read theories that this story originated from the Sumerian texts and the story of Gilgamesh and that Noah was actually offspring of a sexual relationship that the god Ea had with Lamech's wife and that Noah was his son (which is called by another name in the older versions of the story) and that that was why Ea chose to break the vow he made with the other gods and tell Noah of the flood from behind the wall of reeds. so that he could claim that he didn't break the oath by telling Noah but that he told the story to a wall and Noah must have been smart enough to figure it out. So Noah was saved when the lord of gods Enili wanted to send the flood to kill mankind.
There is another theory that the Sumerian gods were ancient astronauts that came to earth thousands of years ago and were worshiped as gods. And that they or Ea was the one that created man as a slave race by crossing their DNA with that of an Ape woman. And that some of the male Annaunaki took some of the humans for wives and that the leader who was referred to as the lord of gods Enili who was Ea's brother was furious with Ea for making them be able to procreate (because normally hybrids can't procreate, like mules), and that it infuriated him that the Annaunki were polluting their bloodline by marrying the humans so when the flood was to come (which was a natural disaster caused by the end of the ice age and the polar ice caps of Antarctica melting and slipping into the ocean causing a major tsunami that flooded the earth), he made the others take a vow not to tell the humans so that they would all be killed but Ea saved Noah because he was his son.
No matter what theory you beleive many scholars have said that the bible along with many other religions and mythologies originated from these Sumerian texts . And that over thousands of years of these stories being retold orally before being written down again by the biblical authors that the lord of the gods became god in the bible and that Ea the creator became the snake, (symbol of wisdom and medicine) in the story of Adam and Eve.

They're mentioned in the book of genesis also.
"That the asons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they btook them cwives of all which they chose."
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
But I'm puttin a link so you can read it by yourself. Good Luck
