The authors have obtained simultaneous VLA measurements of the distributions of 1612 and 1655 MHz OH masers associated with U Orionis. At 1665 MHz they find an incomplete ring distribution near the stellar velocity of -39 km s-1. The observations indicate that radial expansion is the dominant kinematic component at the radius of the OH masers (≡50 AU). From consideration of all available OH, H2O, and SiO data, it is found that a model of axisymmetric, biconical OH density concentrations embedded in a spherical outflow at a constant velocity provides a qualitative basis for understanding the overall properties of the profile structures and the angular distributions.
