Streamers sounds like "strings" to me. As in String Theory. I think they create the low pressure as they suck entropy at their surface. They also shred atoms at their surface creating the EV/ball of electrons and possibly positrons & neutrinos. You watch cirrus clouds closely, lots of little "streamers" proceeeding foul weather approaching, including ice halos, etc.
