Narrative:

Center must have been aware of the possible conflict because we were directed to stop our climb at FL280 several mins before the conflict. Other aircraft was told to level at FL290, but overshot down to approximately FL288, which triggered our TCASII TA as other aircraft overflew our left side. The pilot of other aircraft thought that we were an F16 as he sighted us. We're glad to have TCASII.
