That is interestingly at odds with SR, all mirrors are moving at near the speed of light relative to some reference frame, and if all reference frames are equal then it should not require the mirror to move and differently. This indicates that the quantum particles aren't popping up with a random velocity relative to the Lab reference frame, but that they are relatively stationary relative to the Lab reference frame which requires the mirror to move. This tells us that the substance of the vacuum, the virtual particles are primarily entrained by the laboratory reference frame, so another way to do this would be to try and move the 'space' through a stationary mirror.
