Without more info on that experiment, I'd say there's nothing Star Trek happening. And IIRC, in Star Trek the speed of light isn't violated because "warp speed" is actually bending space-time in order to travel faster than light w/o actually moving faster than light.
It's called a warp field smarty-pants.
