It's a consideration, but space debris is readily distinguishable from
natural meteors given good witness reports, and I'd consider it a bit
foolish to be hopping on any planes without good witness reports or
other data.
Even so, the ratio of space debris to natural meteors is very small, so
it doesn't need to be a major concern.

Hi All,
I found this map of all this space debris and I couldn't help but wonder
if some of this space debris could resemble a meteor crashing to earth.
Something to think about before hopping on a plane to investigate a
fireball report.
