Argy Bee, I believe that a long white object does not move, but there is a small brown animal out from it.

These look like scale insects. They are hemiptera and the white waxy trail is an egg capsule. Here are some related species. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17950112 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7889891
