Large object hovering over summit of Redoubt volcano

While piloting an aircraft westbound offshore of Anchor Point, Alaska, I and my passengers observed a large object hovering over the summit of Redoubt volcano. It hovered there for about five minutes before proceeding north eastbound across the horizon, covering approximately 30 to 40°. It then disappeared. It looked like a white cylinder. It appeared to have some sort of vapor trail while hovering that dissipated once it started moving. It was at least a few times bigger than a 747.
