Narrative:

I was working R29/30/22 sectors at ZDC. Air carrier DH-8 crew complained about traffic in his immediate vicinity. I was busy separating traffic on another frequency. Apparently, the military Y was flying around changing altitudes and directions rapidly. I had no time to call traffic. The military traffic has been seen to fly very close to other traffic.
