Terminal flash
Observation Yes
Remarks Yes, it glowed SUPER bright on entry. I would approximate it was about as bright as the LED headlight of an oncoming vehicle. The only way I could distinguish it from a headlight was the slightly lower magnitude, the florescent blue color, and the glowing blue trail that was trailing it (presumably ionizing gas and particles).
Fragmentation
Observation No
