It was said yesterday (article in Norwegian) that the recorders were sent to France a week ago, that two Swedish investigators are currently in France, and that they are confident they will get something out of the recorders within in a week.

I have to admit the thought crossed my mind but was quickly discredited as highly unlikely due to the remoteness of the area.
Let's hope the FDR has some useful information that will lead to probable cause and not more questions.

I do not have anything more than a rumor that "someone" apparently lost a UAV in the same area at the same time, but nothing confirmed , therefore I was fishing here.
Maybe I should have posted this on the military forum
But seen the impact crater , it is doubtful physical evidence will be easily found before the snow melts or if at all, and unless spotted visually before by the crew,I do not think the CVR/FDR are going to help much to validate or invalidate that possibility..

The Swedish board of investigation said they managed to read out the CVR(I Think with help of BEA) and that efter that they have some ideas what happend. Nothing more said yet, they would analyze the FDR first.
I would'nt put that much to the rumour about UAV's.

origin rumors of collision?
On the avherald.com link there is a readers comment section and someone calling himself "military" says he has "some inside track", FWIW:

I have some inside track. Rumours Are flying about pertaining to a mid air collision with a military aircraft or asset . Watch this space .....

Oh boy, I hope it's not another Night Ship 282 !! (FEDEX 208 feeder crash maybe due to collision with an unknown object)

Yep, The craziest thing is his sister (If I remember well), a substantial amount of time after the accident on her own recovered more than 700lbs of debris, including the 3 propeller blades from the swamp ! 
That says a lot about the investigators. She is is a 727 pilot, this accident is still a mystery. The pilot was a 9-11 Hero. Very sad.

Thanks Melax, that "Night Ship 282" incident is an interesting read while we're waiting for info from the CRJ CVR/FDR. A mid-air seems unlikely in this case, but strange things happen like the ASG-29 glider vs. Hawker XP800 near Minden, Nevada. No fatalities, but you should see the photos of the Hawker.

Given the number of UAVs in the air and the altitudes they can operate at kind of reminds me of the late 40's and 50's in the US where a number of mid-airs occurred between military and civilian ac due to lack of coordination between the military and CAA. I hate to think of how many military, intelligence, homeland security, local police, state police units may be operating what at this point but I suspect coordination with commercial aviation authorities is not necessarily well established.
This accident happened virtually on the border between Sweden and Norway.
In Sweden, but airspace delegated to Norwegian ACC.
Air surveillance radar systems from both countries cover the area and pictures already released from this.
Nordlys - Her forandrer flyet brått kurs før det styrter
Anyone seeing more than one A/C ?
We might not be 100% sure that the picture is'nt modified but the source is norwegian and the airspace Swedish( from a military view).
If unknown A/C wasn't Swedish, the swedish interceptors would have been launched.
If it wasnt Norweigan, would Norway then edit the picture?
No, there was no other A/C around I say.

AAKEE : I do not want to add to this UAV rumour, but the picture you posted is from a synthetic display where anything can be filtered out, specific SSR codes and even Primary returns.
What would be interesting to see is what the Swedish Military primary radar displays show. On the other hand a small ,slow moving and mostly composite UAV would not offer much returns.

1. That image in AAKEE's link was released by the Norwegian military.
2. This is the largest UAV in use by Norway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroVironment_RQ-11_Raven
