I also saw something that very much matches your description. I am in Santa Barbara, CA, but at about 10 pm local time here, also on Friday the 26th of May, I saw exactly what you saw, a near zenith path, moving quite slowly, as I recall it was heading to the north-northwest, changing from about 4th to 2nd magnitude periodically. I wonder if it was the same object.
