Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental verification regarding the possibility of measuring an observer’s current velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). An analysis of the experimental methodology was performed to confirm the drag effect of an extraordinary ray in an anisotropic medium induced by the motion of the device through the CMB. Three distinct configurations of the experimental setup were examined in this study. The experimental data were processed by three independent operators using three analytical approaches. Tables illustrating the processed data for various device configurations are provided. The analysis of the measurements reliably demonstrated a deflection of the extraordinary ray within the range of 0.1–0.02 mm. The results confirm the drag effect of an extraordinary ray from a laboratory source within an anisotropic medium in an inertial frame, without the need for observations outside the laboratory, as a consequence of the device’s motion through the CMB. These findings validate the feasibility of utilizing stellar aberrations from a terrestrial source within an anisotropic medium to measure the current velocity of an inertial system relative to the CMB. This discovery enables a new method for continuous monitoring of the Solar System’s velocity relative to the CMB.
