I think it's more likely an instrument error. Wait and see.

This might explain it:

just opinion, but i've never believed in the ftl=impossible stuff myself, just because it seems like it always turns out that things that are supposedly impossible are NOT, eventually.

[Mr. Oragahn]

I don't care about what science says. It's too sad to be convinced that we'll never manage to move through space faster than light. It's my religion, that science is not developed enough in this field. One of my altars is the Large Hadron Collider.

agreed.

Humanity probably won't be able to make use of something like this for space travel, at least not for a very, very long time. However, the more near-term applications would involve interesting things like speeding up computers and communications.
