Spacecraft that are de-orbited (sent back into the earth's atmosphere to burn up at over 25,000mph) are usually aimed at a point in the South Pacific called Point Nemo. It's the most uninhabited area of our world being the furthest place from any land and not a part of any common shipping route

Satellites and space debris sometimes break up over populated areas. https://www.space.com/spacex-debris-fall-australia-crew-1-dragon-capsule

Spacecraft parts like Soviet satellites with nuclear reactors have fallen on places like Canada:

Do you want to see it with a telescope? No problems.

Just build one with the diameter of 50,000ft but until then you will have to trust the mainstream media that it's actually in space.
