An American Airlines pilot reported seeing “a long cylindrical object” fly over his plane during a flight from Ohio to Arizona on Sunday.

The encounter with the unidentified flying object occurred over New Mexico as Flight AA 2292 was en route to Phoenix from Cincinnati.

The pilot called air traffic control shortly after noon local time on February 22 to report seeing the object, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

“Do you have any goals here? We just had something beyond us,” the pilot said in a radio transmission recorded and posted by the Deep Black Horizon blog site. “I hate to say that – looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like some type of cruise missile moving very fast. It went right over us.”

The FAA told NBC News in a statement that air traffic controllers “did not see any objects in the area on their radarscopes.”

American Airlines confirmed that the radio call came from one of its flights, but reported further questions to the FBI.

“After a debriefing with our flight crew and additional information received, we can confirm that this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on February 21,” the airline said.

The FBI told NBC they were investigating the incident.

Could it be a UFO? Two people captured the moment an unidentified object hovered above the sky near Hallandale Beach, Fla. On Tuesday.
