There's also a very handy (300 page searchable) PDF over at Black Vault :
Canadian UFO Files FOI with lots of references to this case.
....Mr. James B. Thompson ol Winnipeg initiated the investigation on behalf of APRO, assisted by Edward Barker and Brian Cannon.Mr. Thompson did an exceptionally thorough documentation ol the incident, and forwarded Mr. Micha- lak's glove, with which he touched the UAO, and a piece of the burned shirt to APRO early in the investigation. The latter are undergoing tests to determine whether they contain any sort of residue which would support Michalak's claims. Mr. Thompson also worked closely with Dr. Craig of the University of Colorado's UFO committee during his investigation. Thompson has been to the general area of the landing at least twice, but Michalak had dif[iculty finding the exact location. It was finally found on about the 24th oI June, soil samples were taken and further information on this incident will be contained in a future issue...

There are some APRO Bulletins available online. But seem to add little information to what has been discussed...
This is from the May-June 1967 issue:

These bulletins can be found in this web folder : Link
I suspect J.B. Thompson gave the idea for the booklet, as well as added content of his design…to make a story believable and sellable. Just a thought….

It is hard to know if Mr. Thompson was just trying to help him out considering Stefan's health was very bad. Maybe it was just a kind gesture, at least I'd like to think so.

Yeah, that is suspicious, you are right.
As for the three beers supposedly guzzled down. I don't think that would make anyone hallucinate a ufo contact.
Unless there was something else in those beers.
Sometimes in this kind of case, there is corroborating evidence, like another person saw some ufos at around the same time. Or, in our famous cases such as Roswell and others, we have peripheral witnesses claiming seeing aliens dead or alive at some point in its reporting....

On 1 August 1957, the Canadian and American governments announced the two countries would integrate their air-defence forces under a joint command at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and Western nations was well underway. Both Canada and the US feared long-range Soviet attack. (Canadian Encyclopedia)
