Summary
We have obtained preliminary evidence from near infrared observations that “non-variable” OH/IR stars are more related to planetary nebulae than to red giants whereas the reverse is true for “variable” OH/IR stars. We propose that “variable” OH/IR stars evolve into “non-variable” OH/IR stars. This transition is very sharp and takes place in a short time.
