If this did happen to be space debris as a result of human activity then the likelihood that this becomes a more common occurrence is likely seeing how Kuiper and Starlink are looking to have somewhere around 42,000 satellites and it currently has around 8,000; Kuiper also has similar ambitions.

Even with that the odds of this have to be less likely than winning the lottery while getting bit by a shark that was simultaneously struck by lightning.

Starlink satellites demise upon re-entry though so they're not going to be the cause.

They were busy demising until the plane interrupted the demising?!

Too low. Debris burns up in the mesosphere and upper stratosphere. Airlines cruise about halways down from there.

Older sats are more likely, they were designed with less eye towards burning up. But that also makes it less likely to happen.
