I was in an airplane on approach to Minneapolis Airport. The flight was frontier 114 I would say it happened about 30 minutes prior to arrival. I could see the fireball out the window of the right side of the plane. It started as a bright blue light and then looked like it disintegrated. It appeared to be following a similar flight path to planes leaving Minneapolis but possibly further off in the distance. My viewpoint data is my estimated whereabouts after looking at the planes flightpath.
