The things in earth orbit have a very small angle of entry. I'd expect that if the angle is bigger, the deflection from the atmosphere would be smaller (if it survives the hit).

I still have never seen any prediction like that which was made before the thing actually entered the atmosphere. You can see how some known remains sites were determined by clicking on them in this map: https://www.strewnify.com/map/
