Turned out
"I was in Paris many years ago when some great celebration was going on - lots of marching, bands, tricoleurs everywhere. Turned out it was celebrating the liberation from the Nazis, without any apparent nod of the head to the British or Americans." (The Guardian readers' forum.)
Is Turned out it was celebrating the liberation from the Nazis a non-finite clause with the implied subject, namely "It", a predicator "Turned out", and the object "it was celebrating the liberation from the Nazis" in the above context?
