IRAS 18333-2357 is a pointlike source located about 1arcmin from the center of the globular cluster M22 (NGC 6566). Its infrared colors are cooler than virtually all OH/IR stars and hotter than almost all galaxies. If the source is physically associated with M22, its infrared luminosity is 700 L_sun; and the dust mass in the radiating region is in the range 6×10-4 to 1×10-2M_sun;. It is speculated that IRAS 18333-2357 may be in a very early phase of planetary nebulae evolution. One possible model for the source is that of a rapidly evolving bipolar nebula, similar to OH 0739-14, with carbon abundance enriched by more than 20 times compared to abundances in M22 as a whole.
