Narrative:
Fighter jet Y was operating in the coastal 1E; 1W; and 2 moas and was in communication with townsend range control. I observed fighter jet Y spill out of the MOA on the south side. I contacted townsend range to alert them that I observed the spill out. I informed townsend that I would be having traffic passing on the south side of the MOA and I could no longer allow spill outs. The traffic I was controlling was also trying to stay north of thunderstorms. Air carrier Z was descending to 11;000 ft; eastbound; passing to the south of the MOA and air carrier X was climbing to 10;000 ft; westbound. I informed air carrier Z of the spill out and possible traffic situation. Fighter jet Y appeared to be maneuvering northbound away from traffic. I called traffic between air carrier Z and air carrier X. I then handed off air carrier X to sectors 29/79 and gave this aircraft the frequency change. I observed fighter jet Y spilling out of the MOA once again; causing the conflict alert to be set off. I was not in communication with either aircraft. I would suggest that military operations understand the importance of staying within designated airspace and easier communications with the range control in communication with the military aircraft.
