  Recent data from the OPERA experiment seem to point to neutrinos propagating
faster than light. One possible physics explanation for such a result is the
existence of light sterile neutrinos which can propagate in a higher
dimensional bulk and achieve apparent superluminal velocities when measured by
an observer confined to the 4D brane of the standard model. Such a model has
the advantage of easily being able to explain the non-observation of
superluminal neutrinos from SN1987A. Here we discuss the phenomenological
implications of such a model and show that it can provide an explanation for
the observed faster than light propagation of neutrinos.
