Oddly enough, in the only source you cite, the Wiki, the trajectory is recorded and work out as a straight line, with the object in descent. This in no way is indicative of intelligent control.
Furthermore, at the "crash site", there appears to be some degree of tree damage corresponding to that year, but at least one scientist to study it attributes it to ice, not aliens. In addition, there is no impact crater, no markings of a hard landing of any kind. Although it could be speculated that "the aliens put the brakes on and landed softly", the simplest explanation is that there is no impact crater or extensive damage because only fragments of a satellite hit the Earth there.

I don't buy that. "Mistake" is very subjective and depends heavily on your personal definition, as you point out. But I don't find it hard at all to believe NASA more than the eyewitnesses. Although, to be fair, it is to their credit and speaks well of them that they haven't built a tourist industry out of the incident.

According to NASA, it

No. They would have concluded they had no idea what they had.

Ahhh. "What if's" You see where I'm going with this. "What if it were a gigantic Smore that got shot out of a secret Canadian base and got chocolate and marshmellow all over everything? There are probably as many "what ifs" you could throw at this as there are people who care to imagine them. I mean nothing personal, but that's VERY speculative.
But going with your particular "what if?" Frankly, it probably would have been handled nearly exactly the same way as this satellite was. Except, I'd imagine, there wouldn't be any reason to involve NASA.

I agree.
