There were many, many pieces of debris from USA 193. They were very divergent on their trajectories, to the point that this far along after the event they can be in just about any place around the planet at any time. I think there are still 30-40 large-ish pieces in orbit. In other words, it would be difficult to rule out that any given object that you see visually was not a piece of its debris. That said, you are probably still more likely to see a regular meteor entry than satellite debris.
