Narrative:

Air carrier X advised he was responding to an RA and descending. I advised air carrier X that there was not any traffic in his vicinity, except for an MD80 7 mi south of his position at FL290. Air carrier X said he had traffic 400 ft above him. There were no primary returns in the vicinity of air carrier X nor any other traffic. I advised air carrier X of this again and the pilot stated he was returning to FL310.
