At passage of 21-cm pulsar radiation through clouds of neutral hydrogen atoms the signal in the region of anomalous dispersion is appearing as faster-than-c. As unlike laboratory researches separate scatterers are located on big distances from each other, this effect can be attributed only to the consecutive independent scattering on isolated atoms. For its explanation we must accept that photons are emitted and absorbed on the distances /2, in a near field, instantaneously. Such peculiarity of near field has been established earlier within the frame of QED and explains, quantitatively and qualitatively, different "superluminal" observations. It shows that processes of absorption and reemission of photons do not submit to requirements of special relativity describing only uniform movements, and consequently possibilities of faster-than-c phenomena in the near field are not excluded.
