Hi,
The aether is a tired, dead and buried concept and i am surprised you even bother to mention it. The aether was proposed as a medium through which light propogates.
There is no such thing as nothing as these days some people believe that all of space is filled by the Higgs field. This field via Higgs particles is supposed to be responsible for imparting mass to all elementary particles except for light.
The Higgs field is consistant with Special Relativity as
(1) It has no observable effect on things moving at a constant velocity (except to impart mass) and so unlike the concept of aether does not give any particular observer a priveleged viewpoint, i.e at rest with respect to the aether.
If something is effecting the Voyager spacecraft then whatever it is is not the aether.
Cheers
Paul
