I saw this meteor at around 7:20 on Nov. 2, 2010.
It was very bright white, with a long sparkling tail moving roughly from east to west. It broke into a handlful of pieces before it disappeared from view.
The duration of the event was approximately 4-5 seconds long and was viewed from Pincourt, Quebec (suburb west of Montreal).

I saw it too: very bright and ending like a sparkler!
Around 7h20-7h25 from Quebec City Canada
Moi aussi j'ai vu ce magnifique météorite vers 19h20. Très très magnifique et surprenant à voir de toute beauté ! Duré est environ 5-6seconde heureuse d'avoir vu ça pour la première fois, et suis contente de ne pas être la seule à l'avoir vu.

I saw spectacular event as well. I was facing north, and went back out with a compass today. My view was unobstructed - noticed it at about 12 degrees up from horizontal, at 100 degrees (magnetic). It reached a peak at about 35 degrees - perhaps 40, then traveled NW toward 32o degrees, exploding in a fireball at about 15 - 18 degrees up from the horizontal. I thus saw it nearly from the eastern horizon and had the eery visual deception that it's trajectory was going up initially as it traveled overhead- much closer in appearance in the sky than any other meteor I have seen - including the impression of a smoky tail - which may be a vivid imagination on my part. I am in Holderness, NH. Sorry I am not using correct lingo, but hope this helps. Enough landmarks around that with guidance I could describe it more accurately(just over a nearby building)
A friend and I also saw it from Montreal. Had the same impression of the meteor's trajectory rising. Very dramatic and bright during the whole of its appearance and break-up.
Must be a sign.
