An attempt to measure the motion of the earth through the aether:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trouton-Noble_experiment

This experiment counters the theory that the aether is 'dragged' along
by the mass of the earth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammar_experiment

further experiments have been done to counter the argument that only
planet or solar sized masses can produce such a drag by

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Joseph_Lodge

and others.

The biggest nail in aether's coffin is that, despite its supporters
attempts, the aether theory predicts no further useful or even
verifiable phenomena. Unlike the Maxwell/Lorentz/Einstein theoretical
support for non-aether EM wave propagation. This has been verified
experimentally and makes additional hypothesis, may of which have also
been confirmed experimentally.
