Efforts to locate the wreckage then began in earnest, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police teaming up with the American and Canadian Coast Guard to find the crash site.

Within days, however, the effort had to be called off due to deteriorating weather, but then reports emerged suggesting that material from the wreckage, along with a "module", had been collected around three weeks later.

The module was found to have been manufactured by a company known to sell weather monitoring equipment, though it remains unclear whether it had actually come from the downed object or if it had simply been found in the area during the search.

"It will be analyzed to determine if there is anything unusual with it but I suspect not given the size," a senior RCMP member told a Canadian military brigadier-general in an email.

"Whether or not it is from the shoot down is uncertain."Later, a spokesperson seemed to confirm where the debris had been found.

"The RCMP confirms that debris was recovered from the shores of Lake Huron, and we continue to work in close collaboration with our domestic and international partners in furthering the investigation," they told CTVNews.ca.

"As the investigation is ongoing, additional details cannot be provided at this time."

As things stand, the lack of transparency on the matter remains an ongoing source of contention.

Some argue that the details have been kept under wraps because the object had turned out to be something extremely mundane and it was an embarrassment for the US and Canadian militaries to have spent so much time and money shooting it down and recovering it.

Others, meanwhile, believe that something was (and likely still is) being covered up.
