Narrative:

Mlt was climbing, requesting FL250. I relieved controller at sector 25, worked right/left/D 25. He said mlt had been handed off and was turned over already. Within 2 mins ZJX called and said tailhook area was hot FL240 and below and mlt was level at FL230 going into it. I tried to call aircraft many times, no response. Called my high controller, he didn't have aircraft and had just relieved the controller working right/left/D 35. ZJX kept yelling for us to get aircraft out of tailhook area. I called giant killer to see if we could turn aircraft into warning areas if we could raise him, they said no. The right/left/D 35 controller finally raised aircraft, thirty mi into tailhook area, climbed him and turned over to ZJX. We don't know what he went through, aircraft, gunfire, etc.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACFT ENTERED A MOA WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM CONTROLLING AGENCY.

Narrative: MLT WAS CLBING, REQUESTING FL250. I RELIEVED CTLR AT SECTOR 25, WORKED R/L/D 25. HE SAID MLT HAD BEEN HANDED OFF AND WAS TURNED OVER ALREADY. WITHIN 2 MINS ZJX CALLED AND SAID TAILHOOK AREA WAS HOT FL240 AND BELOW AND MLT WAS LEVEL AT FL230 GOING INTO IT. I TRIED TO CALL ACFT MANY TIMES, NO RESPONSE. CALLED MY HIGH CTLR, HE DIDN'T HAVE ACFT AND HAD JUST RELIEVED THE CTLR WORKING R/L/D 35. ZJX KEPT YELLING FOR US TO GET ACFT OUT OF TAILHOOK AREA. I CALLED GIANT KILLER TO SEE IF WE COULD TURN ACFT INTO WARNING AREAS IF WE COULD RAISE HIM, THEY SAID NO. THE R/L/D 35 CTLR FINALLY RAISED ACFT, THIRTY MI INTO TAILHOOK AREA, CLBED HIM AND TURNED OVER TO ZJX. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WENT THROUGH, ACFT, GUNFIRE, ETC.
