High-velocity molecular gas observed in six separate regions in the Orion Molecular Clouds is discussed. A detailed mm wavelength study of a region of massive star formation in Orion, NGC 2071, suggests that high-velocity (C-12)O line wings are formed in an extended bipolar outflow that originates from the vicinity of a central infrared cluster and a pair of ultra-compact 5 GHz continuum sources. The large number of energetic outflows now recognized suggests that an episode of violent mass loss is associated with stellar birth and has important consequences for the early evolution of stars and their associated molecular clouds.
