We present two adjacent jet candidates with a length of ∼9° each - 10xlonger than the largest known jets - discovered by us on 60µm and 100µm IRAS maps, but not observed at any other wavelength. They are extremely collimated (length-to-width ratios 20-50), curved, knotty, and end in prominent bubbles. Their dust temperatures are 25±3K and 30±4K, respectively. Both harbour faint stars, one having a high proper motion (0.23"/yr) and being very red, suggesting a distance of ∼60pc. At this distance, the combined mass of both jets (assuming a gas-to-dust ratio of 200) totals ∼1M_☉. We suspect that these gigantic (∼9pc length) jets have a common origin, due to the decay of a system of evolved stars. They are the first examples of jets radiating in the far IR and might be the closest non-diffuse nebulae to the solar system.
