Not really, as everyone we see using a Pensieve first has to drag the
thoughts out of his head per wand. Also it flies of it's own accord,
when the thoughts just fall like leaves in autumn.
"Snape pulled out his wand from an inside pocket [...] but Snape merely raised the wand to his temple and placed it's tip into the greasy roots of his hair. When he withdrew it some silvery substance came away stretching from temple to wand like a thick gossamer strand, which broke as he pulled the wand away from it and fell gracefully into the Pensieve."
OotP (Bloomsbury ed) p471
It could be something similar though. Does it have any connection with
the Patronus? It's also silvery stuff and you have to think to make it
happen (ok, most of the wizarding spells are made by thinking, so not a valid point by this evidence)

books)
