I provided Hill with a URL link which includes a photograph
that displays the item in question. The "stovepipe" in the
photograph can be viewed and compared with the one on
Bering Island. The fuel transfer stovepipe on Bering Island
is probably the longest ever constructed. Here is the link
that I provided Hill:

The long device is a fuel offload pantagraph.
Sorry, but the walkway & observation tower theory by Nickolay and WayfarerSt makes much more sense to me. Especially after seeing the photo that Frank_McVey found.
@Diane
A very nice and interesting find. Thanks. 
Best Regards, Felippo

Well, there goes my brilliant theory, that it is actually the muzzle of a huge, super secret, subterranean, hypersonic experimental rail gun! But wait, if it REALLY is a hide or blind, how come the GE image doesn't match the picture? You can clearly see in the picture that the hide is flimsy, curves to the right at the far end and the supports are vertical, not slanted away from the tube like you would need to support the great stresses of a hypersonic rail gun. And what is that just off the sea end of the "object"? It couldn't be a jet of super-heated plasma from a hyper-sonic sabot projo leaving the tube, or could it? Here is another curious thing... 324.24 statute miles from the land end of the barrel and EXACTLY in line with it (allowing for the cordials effect of the spinning Earth) there appears to be an impact zone/crater at these coordinates:
59°44'33.03"N
162°50'29.99"E
Coincidence? Maybe, I guess there is really only one way to find out. Who will go with me to check this out? :-)
PS Fileppo, love your helo pads.

I will recreate my previous post which will authenticate the exact
purpose for the "stovepipe" fuel transfer system. If you are using
Google Earth, you will see that the island has a shelf of rock that
prevents fuel transport tankers from berthing for offloading. The
"stovepipe" which is a pipe inside a pipe can be extended out
to deeper water and fuel can be offloaded to rubberized fabric
bladders. You can see the sandbagged revetments south of
the stovepipe which retain the bladder contents in the event of
a rupture.

Hi Sheinok!
Thanks for the wonderful picture! That settles the debate, as far as I'm concerned.
Welcome to Google Earth!

philyuchkoff -
Hello again, and thank you SO MUCH for these wonderful photos. They are perfect! I also checked out your link, which has even more good pictures. The leaning tower at the end of the walkway must be very old - I suppose not used anymore. Is this your website? Did you ever go to the island?
Best regards,
Diane
