My brother is a captain for Qantas and has seen many meteor trails. One though was a large fireball that reflected off the Earths atmosphere coming straight at them. He knew it was 100K+ above him and told his crew don't bother to duck!
I think that the same thing applies here. It is imposssible to get any real idea how close the space junk was.
You all have a bigger problem with cars and trucks coming at you head on every day and they miss by three or four feet (one meter).
