Time dialation wouldn't have any effect from our perspective (and the equation I used already takes mass changes into account). From our inertia frame it would simply appear as if a very fast thingy-ma-bobber hit the atmosphere and exploded (assuming it vaporized entirely). From the interia from of the *mass* it would probably appear that everything was happening a tad fast, but that is its problem for not accounting for its mass and length changes now isn't it
