geom_ribbon understands linetype aesthetic. If you want to map linetype to a variable include it in the aes() argument, otherwise, place linetype outside and just give it 0, like so:
ggplot(d, aes(Time, y, color = Object, fill = Object)) +
geom_line(size = 2) +
geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = lower, ymax = upper), linetype = 0, alpha = .3)
