It can be caused by a migraine. The "visual aura" of a migraine looks like flashes or lines that distort parts of your vision, they usually last for 10 or 20 minutes.

It may also be that the lines are real. Seeing waves in the air happens when air that is much hotter, and so less dense, rises. It distorts light that passes through it and when viewed from the proper angle appears as waves.

Why is heat energy harder to see then light energy?

Heat energy is harder to see than light energy because our eyes are not sensitive to the wavelengths of heat radiation. Light energy falls within the visible spectrum, allowing us to see it, while heat energy falls in the infrared spectrum, which our eyes cannot detect. Heat energy is typically felt as warmth or detected using specialized equipment like thermal cameras.


What 3 types of waves do our eyes detect?

Our eyes detect three types of waves: visible light, which allows us to see colors and shapes; infrared radiation, which we sense as heat; and ultraviolet radiation, which is invisible to the naked eye but can cause damage to our eyes and skin with prolonged exposure.

How do we sense most infrared waves?

We sense infrared waves through specialized sensors, such as infrared detectors or thermal imaging cameras, that can detect the heat emitted by objects and convert it into an electronic signal that our eyes or devices can interpret as an image. The sensors are sensitive to the infrared radiation that is invisible to our eyes, allowing us to detect heat signatures and thermal patterns.


Are heat waves electromagnetic waves?

Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.
