Abstract We report high angular resolution maps in the CO 2 approaches 1 and CS 3 approaches 2 lines of the molecular gas around the embedded object IRAS 20050+2027. This is a 260 solar luminosity source located in the Cygnus Rift at 700 pc from the Sun. The CS data uncover a dense core of size 0.3 pc and 80 solar mass centered on the IRAS object. The CO map reveals a remarkable molecular outflow consisting of three pairs of lobes emanating from the close vicinity of the IRAS source. One of the lobe pairs is a highly collimated jet of extremely high velocity emission (LSR velocities up to +/- 70 km/s) containing molecular 'bullets'. We briefly examine different possibilties to explain the complex structure of the multipolar outflow. A single outflow appears unable to explain all the CO observations, so we suggest that two or three independent outflows emanate form different young sources embedded within the core.
