Hello Steve,
Well I hadn't thought of that (electrostatic field). I did rule out air
currents. What struck me was the movement of one of the fibers... it would
coil and then strike just like a snake. It did this rather violently and
several times... the other fibers that moved were sort of floating and
slowly curling, almost looking to attach to something. This I can see as
being caused by static electricity... but the coiling??? Oh well...

Folks,
I too looked at a few Qtips with a strong magnifying glass, and on one I
did
see one or two of the fibers moving around. I was very careful to ensure
there were no air currents. BUT, as an electronic engineer with some high
voltage experience, I hypothesized that the movement could be caused by
electrostatic fields in the vicinity of the Qtips. Things charged with
static electricity (high voltage DC) can exhibit some dynamic activity as
the charge leaks off, and/or external things (e.g. hands) move in the
vicinity and change the electrostatic field geometry. There are all sorts
of things in our environment that can generate electrostatic fields, such
as
TV picture tubes (not the LCD type), shuffling on carpets, moving air from
vacuum cleaners or furnaces, air ionizers, weather phenomena, etc.
A few of the cotton fibers appear to be highly sensitive to electrostatic
fields. You can see this effect for yourself by using an ordinary comb
(not
metal) that has been drawn through dry hair, your cat's fur, etc. If you
then bring the comb near the Qtip, you can see the fibers move , and you
can
control the movement by moving the comb around, moving your hand between
the
comb and the Qtip, etc.
What is needed are controlled experiments of observing cotton fibers in an
environment completely void of electric fields (do the experiment in a
conductive grounded container, with shielded and grounded magnifier,
ground
straps for the observer, etc). I believe some of you have the ability
and
wherewithal to conduct such experiments and report your results to the
list.
Any takers?
--Steve Y.

Are you using magnification to observe this? If so what power?
Thanks. I might try this using Japanese products to see what I see.
BTW, the morgellons.org site indicates reports from this country also.
