Abstract: IRAS data for high-galactic-latitude F supergiants, a few luminous F-G stars, and a few peculiar (forbidden) emission-line stars reveal they have dust shells with characteristics similar to those observed in planetary nebulas. The objects appear to have experienced severe mass loss in the recent past on the AGB. These stars are most likely post-AGB stars or evolving from the tip of AGB towards the left in the H-R diagram and may be described as possible protoplanetary nebulas. From the IRAS data, ten additional possible protoplanetary nebulas are identified.
