Narrative:

Takeoff from stx. Climb to 17000 ft. After level off at 17000 ft, west of snooz intersection on route 4 wbound, RA on TCASII showing approximately 1500 ft descent with traffic at 10-10:30 at 17000 ft. Immediately after initial RA, second RA indicated approximately 1700 FPM climb was necessary. A military fighter aircraft was visually sighted headed toward us. As we initiated our climb, the fighter rolled to his right and went behind us. Subsequent discussion with san juan center supervisor allowed that this aircraft should not have been at 17000 ft but between 18000 and 20000 ft in this particular airspace.

Title: ACR FLC HAS TCASII RA, THEN SECOND RA TO CLB. SIGHTS FGT, CLBS.

Narrative: TKOF FROM STX. CLB TO 17000 FT. AFTER LEVEL OFF AT 17000 FT, W OF SNOOZ INTXN ON RTE 4 WBOUND, RA ON TCASII SHOWING APPROX 1500 FT DSCNT WITH TFC AT 10-10:30 AT 17000 FT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER INITIAL RA, SECOND RA INDICATED APPROX 1700 FPM CLB WAS NECESSARY. A MIL FIGHTER ACFT WAS VISUALLY SIGHTED HEADED TOWARD US. AS WE INITIATED OUR CLB, THE FIGHTER ROLLED TO HIS R AND WENT BEHIND US. SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION WITH SAN JUAN CTR SUPVR ALLOWED THAT THIS ACFT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AT 17000 FT BUT BTWN 18000 AND 20000 FT IN THIS PARTICULAR AIRSPACE.
