They said they found the black latex glove on February 11 while driving down North Campbell Avenue.
They were pointing a flashlight out the window when the glove appeared on the side of the road. Another glove was found less than 10 feet away, they said.
They called the FBI hotline and were on hold for 45 minutes before getting through to someone.
The operator took down their contact information and their location but could not guarantee that an agent would be able to get there that night, they said.
Knowing the possible significance of these gloves, they then called the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which has led the investigation since Nancy went missing on February 1.
Police told the couple to leave the gloves in place and that someone would respond to the scene.

The couple was worried about rain in the forecast, so they called 911 for a faster response. Multiple detectives arrived and questioned them until 2am.
They are now wondering if the gloves they found are the same ones that the FBI had tested.
Police have not confirmed this, but the gloves they said they discovered were collected two miles away from Nancy's home. The couple said the gloves they found were less than a mile away from the home.
Earlier this week, police said the gloves matching those worn by the suspect in the doorbell camera video did not match anyone in the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).
'Investigators are currently looking into additional investigative genetic genealogy options for DNA evidence to check for matches,' the sheriff's department said on Tuesday. 'CODIS is one option of many databases that are available.'
Police have said they have collected multiple gloves from the area and that DNA testing on relevant biological material will continue over the next few weeks.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told NBC News on Tuesday that the DNA authorities currently have may belong to the suspect, who has been described as a 5’9” to 5’10” male.
He was seen with a distinct gun holster and an Ozark Trail backpack from Walmart.
Nancy was last seen on January 31 after being dropped off by a family member at her home.
Police are still working to identify the suspect that was captured on her doorbell camera during the early morning hours of February 1, the day Nancy disappeared
Police believe she taken against her will during the early hours of February 1. After she failed to show up at a friend's home that day, her family reported her missing.
In nearly three weeks, police have not named a person of interest or a suspect in the abduction.
On Friday, the sheriff's department said they are 'not ruling out the possibility that more than one person may be involved'.
Investigators are hoping Nancy's pacemaker will eventually lead them to her.
The device, which regulates one's heartbeat, was disconnected from an app on her phone at 2:28am. This was shortly after the suspect was seen on her doorbell camera.
Nanos previously said that the pacemaker still has six or seven years of battery life based on information he was provided by the manufacturer.
The company that made the pacemaker has been working with police to help detect any possible signals the device could be emitting.
