We're getting to the point where it may be worthwhile to attempt seeing a reentry. Like how back in the day you could get notified of a good Iridium flare, there are enough reentries now that screening for nearby passes could be interesting.
On the 25th there were five Starlink reentries and a piece of debris.
You don't get the near guarantee of a flare, but probably better odds than staying up for a meteor shower and hoping for a meteor storm.
