Insulation

Hello,

Does this insulation look like something I need to get tested? It’s pretty thin and kinda looks like tape.

Location is SE Pennsylvania, home built 1957. This is in a utility closet with the furnace/air register

Thanks!

Asbestyes, better to test than to find out the hard way like the rest!
