Popis:	As part of an ongoing search for hypervelocity stars (HVS) I found seventeen two micron all sky survey (2MASS) sources with Gaia G magnitudes less than 16.0 and radial velocities less than -600 km/sec. All these stars are brighter in the K band when compared with their V and G magnitudes. Ten of these (including three carbon stars) are long period variable stars (LPV) of Mira type. One is a relatively nearby high proper motion star and one is a very high galactic latitude chemically peculiar metal-poor star. It may be a galactic halo star. One star is a Kepler red giant, two stars may be cluster members and two are in the star forming region (probably YSOs). It is not clear how these stars acquired such high radial velocities. Further study of these seventeen stars is needed.
