We present the results of an [O I] λ 6300 electronographic survey for Herbig–Haro objects in the Orion Nebula. Six objects without continuum or infrared counterparts have been discovered close to the known high velocity HH object, M42 HH1, one of these being the closest known optical object to the BN source. High dispersion spectroscopic data reveal that the objects are characterized by the presence of high velocity blue wings in the low-excitation lines. The maximum velocities range between −100 and −380 km s−1 with respect to the ambient [O I] gas. The existence of an enhanced zero-velocity component leads to the view that the objects are stationary condensations embedded within a high velocity stellar wind. We present evidence that this wind source must be located behind the H II region within the molecular cloud, close to the BN infrared complex. Taking our results in conjunction with existing molecular line observations and the unpublished 2.2 µm continuum map of Hyland et al. we argue that both the HH objects and the high velocity molecular gas are driven by a very high energy biconical stellar wind which is collimated by a dense molecular disc.
