In 2006 the Orionids showed significantly enhanced ZHR of up to 60 over three days combined with an unusually low population index r around 1.6 rather than the long-term average of 2.3-2.9. Two of the extracted ZHR sub-peaks coincide with minima of r. Therefore the particle population between 207.8 deg and 210.5 deg significantly deviated from the average Orionid meteoroids. Similarities to the June-Booetids 1998 and the Leonids 1998 hint at meteoroids moving in a resonance with Jupiter with the 1:6 commensurability being the most favourable. Data from the period 1933-1938 hint at enhanced Orionid rates, supporting the assumption of meteoroids in a resonant trail.
