The detection of CO (J = 1-0) emission from the remarkable F-supergiant HD 101584 is reported. The CO emission profile shows five distinct peaks at -130, -40, +2, +46 and +130 km/s relative to its center. The peaks at -130 and +130 km/s are at one of the highest velocities observed in CO for any star. The high velocity peaks are due to either a shell which is larger than the beamsize of the telescope or due to mass ejection in two diametrically oriented jets. New high-resolution optical data show that the star has a variable mass loss rate and is presently in a phase of very high mass loss. Evidence is presented that HD 101584 is a Post-AGB star about 1000 solar luminosities.
