According to Brian Rogers:

Realizing this was private commerce between characters I didn't reply to this
in public, but, without trying to sound too much like a busybody, I must say
that I can't believe in that phenomenon for the purposes of Shadowrun.
Debates about the nature of Auras aside, it is pretty much guaranteed by the
canon that every living being has an Aura, and even if they didn't, there
is certainly no reason why an Elemental should not be able to affect them.
After all, Elementals can effect _inanimate_ matter...
