It's not even credible -- even the smallest neutron star would mass more than
our sun, and the observed motions of Jupiter and Saturn are precisely what
they're expected to be if they're planets orbiting the sun. The gravity
effects alone would have made it impossible to get Voyager or Cassini anywhere
near those planets.
