I didn't have such a perfect zenith pass ~350Km WSW of you, Ted, but it was beautiful. I picked it up as it came over at about 75 degrees elevation -- like your experience I couldn't resolve it with the naked eye but good binoculars made it a distinct double object. I tracked it to about 45 degrees in the ENE (about over you, I expect!) as it went into trees. I grabbed my camera as an afterthought and got three slightly out of focus (moral: leave your auto focus disabled, with the lens at infinity) 20 second trails through a clumpy overcast ceiling.
