Cylindrical object, approx. 10 feet in length, with undulating protrusions ,reflective area at its top, impervious to head winds

On 10/10/2019 at approximately 4:43 pm EST , I was at my place of work near Dulles IAD, when I noticed an unidentified aerial object approximately fifty feet above and passing slowly down the length of one of the secure buildings. From my point of observation ,there was no sound detected. The object appeared to be at least ten feet in length , and of a roughly cylindrical shape. At that point , I began taking photographs with my phone through the window of my building. The object retained its rock steady vertical flight configuration for the duration of the sighting, and seemed to be impervious to head winds. Its flight path seemed under control and proceeded in a slow,graceful curving climb to the East against a head wind, where it levelled off and was lost to my sight among some cloud cover. Duration of the sighting was approximately five minutes. The slow speed of the object remained constant throughout the sighting.

Details of the object; There was a brilliant light or reflective surface at the top of the object which remained constant throughout the sighting.One strange detail that I noticed while it was relatively low, were undulating protrusions passing down its left side , which appeared to emerge from and return the the mass of the object.
