I never saw these black and white tendrils, but I can tell you that I once saw a checkered pattern swirl when I was looking at TV static and among other forms right as I was looking at it. This was because I have visual snow syndrome.

I can tell you everything from my experience if you want. I don't know what to make of these visions, since I have nobody to talk to about it.
