Scratch on fork or something else?

Just noticed this. It's weird because I can't actually feel it. Can this be more then just a scratch on a carbon fork?

I believe it's only a scratch because it's not visable on some angles. Just weird I can't feel it. The second pic taken from a little different angle and it's really hard to see.

I once saw a $19,000 aircraft windshield replaced because a fine white hair was trapped in the laminate from before it was new. Someone mistook it for a crack.

I hope the OP gets some ride time soon.
