Really. Those baseball sized leftovers were basketball sized and larger in space. The reason no one saw them is because most of them are thousands or millions of years old. Even if one fell last week, there's lots and lots of sky, day and night, that is not being watched by someone at any time.
You gotta get to something that Volkswagen sized in space to start causing some troubles here on Earth.
