The theory of special relativity states that an observer experiences the same speed of light no matter what speed he and his origin of light are traveling relative to each other.

Yes.

Does the Michelson-Morley Experiment count? This claim has been tested many different ways. In each case, special relativity was found to be correct. If an exception is found, it will probably be on the quantum scale.

Not real sure I totally understand your question. Are you asking if there's physical proof that the speed of light is constant regardless of the speed of its source?
I'm not aware of any proof other than those associated with the equations of relativity. Sounds like it would be a great experiment to conduct aboard some future shuttle flight.
