No, although Enoch was also taken up by God, although his grandson,
Noah, was also originally named Enoch. There is, however, a celebrated
section of Ezekiel in which he is visited by beings in vehicles that
had "wheels within wheels" that arrived in clouds of fire and thunder,
which allegedly brought him up to a heavenly visit. UFO nutters like
Von Daniken and Berlitz assert it as evidence of ancient Close
Encounters with aliens.
