Probably best not to get too close unless you know exactly what it is. Hydrazine is very toxic and probably carcinogenic. It would be cool to watch a reentry like that, but I don't think I'd get as close to the debris as that guy is.

I definitely wouldn't take a selfie with my hand resting on it like that guy. I'm not sure they still do it, but Soyuz(?) used to have a radiation source on the bottom to use as a kind of altitude detector, so if one of those broke up there could be another surprise for someone who found debris.
