Essentia...That paper is worded very provocatively. Essentially they argue (as, I guess, have others) that in some sense you can view classical Larmor radiation as being deeply connected to the Unruh effect. They then propose an experiment to measure the Larmor radiation in a very specific geometry, and argue that the angular distribution of the Larmor radiation (well-defined because this is classical E&M) can be derived from an Unruh argument. They then argue that because they've done an explicit calculation without any weirdness showing that Larmor radiation gives the same answer as the Unruh treatment, this counts as a "virtual" observation of the Unruh effect.
