There is an issue I need your opinions on.
On a friend's suggestion, I've checked the walls in my house and later came over to his place where we both checked his walls. The walls seem to be covered in almost invisible threads. They are thinner than cobwebs, thinner than hair, and they mostly go up and down and diagonally, with some going sideways.
In fact, (and this is going to sound strange as all Hell), you need a special way of looking at them, but luckily it's not that hard. If you put the side of your head on a wall, and shine a flashlight at your face and at a slight degree angle, you are able to spot them. It is a bit tricky though, but definitely doable. They are easier to see on a rough "spanish type" wall, since they cling to smooth surfaces. This smoothness makes them harder to see.
I believe it is not the threads themselves I'm seeing, but the light reflecting off them. It needs to be dark, other than the flashlight. There are a few at my place, but my friend's walls are covered in them. Both outside and inside. Note that it's just the walls and the ceilings, not the windows, furniture nor, like, the TV nor the monitor, where I spotted them.
They "break", more like seemingly dissapear on touch, but this is the strange part. Normal cobwebs are visible much more easily and are connected. These seem like ultra thin separate fibers that run in almost straight lines, but mostly up/down and diagonally. They can be grasped between fingers and moved, and they behave like a hair would, an extremely long hair that supports it's own... structure? Weight? IDK, but when I grabbed one, it did not break off when moved around.
You'd need a reasonably strong light to see them, and you need to shine it at just the right angle, but when you do, they are like white hairs that change hue in an almost metallic way as the light moves slightly. Like, faint rainbow hues. Yellow light is better than white.
HOW TO LOOK> Cheek to wall. Light shining at face, and move the light slowly, rotate until they are seen. I'm not sure how to put this.
It all seems very irrelevant, but I'm a grown man over 30 and I've never seen something quite like this. So far, there are 4 of us that are aware of these threads/fibers. One is very paranoid, one somehow defends it in a "there must be an explanation for this" sort of way, and the two of us are curious, bordering on worried. I am the only one that is willing to research this.
Google turns up nothing, just a bunch of wall painting and covering results.
If it's cobwebs (from a very small spider?), they do not behave like them nor have a similar structure. They are separate threads. Nanofiber stuff is, from what I've researched, too small to be visible by the naked eye (10 to the -6th power of a MILIMETER), and I'm out of ideas. Dust does not form ultra thin, ultra long lines like that. It does not react to the common fridge magnet.
Like I've said, invisible in the daylight, but is is both on the outer and inner walls, extremely thin and can be grasped, but if pressed with a finger, the line breaks on the spot and remains undisturbed otherwise. They are long (can be 2/3 meters, or up to 9 feet), running along the walls' surface entirely. Like a net, but unconnected.
I am curious because I was unaware of this... occurence. I am not drunk on or drugs, I am not trolling, I just want to know what it is. A photo can be taken of them, a friend did it, but he's too paranoid to even do a google search on the "phenomenon", let alone upload a pic. I plan on doing it myself though and am willing to share if needed.
Please help. It's either something very simple or something unheard of. IDK. This seemed like the place to post my query, I was on &T and on Zoklet, now I come here, I'm not even sure why, but it seems like the place for it because I have suspicions that it is not normal.
