Remarkable 3-micron emissoin features were discovered in IRAS 05341 + 0852, an optically visible star with IRAS colors, suggesting that it has left the asymptotic giant branch and is becoming a planetary nebula. The near-to-mid infrared energy distributions of IRAS 05341 + 0852 and a similar object, IRAS 09296 + 1159, are similar to those of young planetary nebulae. The 3-micron features in these objects occur near or at the normal wavelengths of the 'PAH' features, but, in IRAS 05341, the profiles and relative strengths are highly abnormal; in particular, the 3.4-micron feature is as intense as the unusually narrow 3.3-micron feature.
