Reference for this case: 23-Sep-54-Lencouacq2.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
Circa 2020, the French ufology association SCEAU published on their Website documents from the ufology group and ufology magazine Lumières Dans La Nuit (LDLN), archive managed back then by Mrs. Guedeulot.
A letter dated or recorded on October 27, 1970 was about the already known case of Lencouacq on September 23, 1954, 1954, addiing nothing to it.
But there was also a weird mention that on the same date, at 08:00 p.m., on the road to Roquefort, in the station district, "a stranger with bizarre appearance was reported, of remarkable height (said to be 2.50 m), dressed in a light gabardine and not answering the questions asked by passersby."
I found no other information or corroboration so far on what one may consider to be a case of the "Men-in-Black" kind.

Case LENCOUAEQ (spelling uncertain)
At 11:00 a.m. Mrs. VIGNOLLES saw the cigar-shaped object above the meadow behind the presbytery.
At 20:00 the same day, on the road to ROQUEFORT, in the station district, a stranger with bizarre appearance was reported, of remarkable height (said to be 2.50 m), dressed in a light gabardine and not answering the questions asked by passersby.

The sighting of Mrs. Vignolles in Lencouacq took place on September 23, 1954: this case was said as having occurred on the same day.
This case seems to consist solely of what Mrs. Guedeulot seems to have found in a letter, from an unknown sender. To me, it is more rumor than factual.
Moreover, even if one were to give it some credibility, the strangeness of the case is very low: a man in a gabardine near the train station who does not speak to people addressing him. Only the height of 2.5 meters is somewhat unusual; but it may have been exaggerated.
My impression is that someone experienced or heard about this encounter, and long after that, having read about the "Men-in-black" lore, decided to share it to the Lumières Dans La Nuit group, where it did not seem to have impressed many.
