Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Lynn Lunsford recently told the NBC station in Albuquerque: “We don't have any comment beyond what you hear.
“Other than the brief conversation between two aircraft, the controller was unable to verify that any other aircraft was in the area.”
It is unlikely it was a privately operated drone because the object was spotted above 40,000 feet which is higher than the usual range of consumer drones.
The sightings were reported close to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and about 100 miles from Luke Air Force Base.
Ms Lunsford said air traffic controllers are usually notified of a military aircraft flying in the area.

The man, who has not been publicly named, filed a report with UFO investigators in which he claimed he experienced lost time during a nocturnal snowmobile ride through woods in Ontonagon, Michigan, USA.
In a witness report to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) he said: “A light overpowered my headlight, which made me stop and look behind me.
“I witnessed a solid white light with pinkish strobe lights on either side of the main white light in the middle.
“Together they formed an oval saucer shape.”
