As the Jaeger falls after the Hong Kong Kaiju battle, it begins to burn up/glow due to re-entry heat. In the movie, they say the Jaeger starts at 50,000 feet. While it is correct that you start to see the sky as black not blue around 60K', to "burn" on re-entry you need both potential energy (from height) and kinetic energy (rotational speed or "orbiting speed", a measure of how fast you'd be moving compared to the ground below). As the Jaeger was geosynchronous (still) above the planet, it would have a kinetic speed of 0, and would not heat on reentry, especially not from 50K'.
