Page 1: THE EVIDENCE
In Nagasaki, On October 1st, the Census Was Cancelled
Judai and Juna investigate the atomic bomb, the cancelled 1945 census, and the counting of all things—from people to UFOs to numbers ascending into the hundreds—while teaching aliens how to count through telepathic documentary broadcasts that measure radiation, observe destruction, and tabulate the impossible mathematics of survival.
1-1 HERE AT THE LAST FRAME AGAIN
You Are After the Last Frame—Please Stay Tuned While We Sing
On July 16, 1945 at 5:29 a.m. in Alamogordo, three bombs explode at once—the First Fission Bomb, the First Plutonium Bomb, and an Invisible Third Bomb—creating UNITEDST via gravitational collapse, and so! 80 years and 38 minutes later in the past, the VHS tape called WAX enters the Internet at the last frame to continue forever as the first movie on the internet, while the Manchu Edison Film Corporation broadcasts through a time tunnel from the Tower of Babel using a two-way television to talk to the dead, who there promise a thousand years of peace, as the movie theater dolls dance on the movie theater shadow ceilings, just as the 999-light-year broadcast bubble reaches the popping point, because the narrator's brothers and sisters, people who are not people called the TRIPLE TRIPLETS all work there in the movie theater, and believe that's the power of love.
1-2: HERE AT THE FIRST FRAME AGAIN
Wait While We Sing the Thing We Think
The same refrain echoes three times across the frame—“You are at the FIRST FRAME again please stay tuned for your next movie”—while the narrator chants “THE THINK” in recursive loops, dissolving identity into pure repetition until meaning collapses into rhythm and the cycle prepares to begin again.
1-3: THE START OF DAY 01 OF THE THINK
When I Am at Trinity Site, I Climb the Marker
Starting at the library, the narrator travels telepathically to Alamogordo's Trinity Site, climbing the Lost Bomb Memorial Marker to face a choice of directions—one path leads to Mesopotamia and returns to White Sands National UFO Monument, the other leads to the first movie on the Internet, which looked at itself and created a 26-day movie called WAXWEB all after some explosion that occurred to create a world in which all movies are 26 days long.
1-4: AND SO WE GO TO DAY 1 IN NAGASAKI
There Are 26 Days, and Day 21 is the Railroad Terminus
Judai, a UFO investigator in Nagasaki on Day 21 (October 1st, 2023), explains the 26-day cycle that repeats like the sun's rotation, the American atomic alphabet, and Hebrew clayshard gematria—then descends into the Nagasaki air defense caves beneath Old Suwa Temple, encountering a Strange Brain there, and also, via electrical means, within in the electric core of a nearby coalmine called of Battleship Island, and also in a battery stored at the Site of the 26 martyrs, who via battery means are able to glow in the dark.
1-5: EFFECTS OF THE ATOMIC BOMB
The Bomb's Point of View, If I Am a Bomb
A Japanese documentary shot under Occupation command narrates the destruction of Nagasaki from August 9th, 1945—the epicenter, the radiation patterns, the burns and anemia, the shadows on concrete, the melted tiles, the twisted steel, and the plants that grew back—all framed by the DVD narrator in 2025 who plays this backwards American DVD to the UFOs, teaching them to count the dead and the living.
1-6 COUNTING PEOPLE
I Am There to Learn How to Count the Census
There is Day 1, August 9, 1945, and then later another Day 1, September 11, 2023, and then Day 1, November 26, 2023—Thanksgiving in Alamogordo—when the narrator travels through invisible air to a hyperbolic void called Nagasaki where the whole world exists in curved miniature as if viewed in a rearview mirror, walking through the French Quarter, Kokura Quarter, Kyoto Quarter, Tokyo Quarter, then down the street to Shinjuku-ku, mounting intersecting stairways to enter The Statistics Museum to learn how to count the census, studying Manchurian Census Stamps from 1940, because this will take a long time, and the narrator is counting.
1-7: COUNTING PEOPLE 2
This Captivating Poster from the Showa Era
Judai and Juna, seasoned UFO investigators and narrators, marvel at vintage Japanese census posters from 1970 and 1975, where vivid gradients and silhouettes chronicle the heartbeat of a nation—each line and figure whispering stories of community and culture, turning data into narrative, statistics into cinema, as they ponder what mysteries might lie in the numbers and lives interwoven through the census.
1-8: ALAMOGORDO COUNTING
One Through Six Hundred
A voice counts steadily from one to 600 over eighteen minutes, each number spoken clearly and deliberately, the sequence occasionally stuttering (“250” instead of “258”), the rhythm methodical as a prayer or a memorial—an endless accounting that transforms arithmetic into ritual, numbers into names, counting into a form of bearing witness.
1-9: COUNTING PEOPLE 3
The Kawaguchi-Style Electric Counting Machine
At the Industrial Heritage Information Center and Statistics Museum in Shinjuku on November 26th, 2023, the narrator spends hours counting vintage Japanese calculating machines—numbered buttons from 1 to 27 on aged wood, each machine a portal to untold stories and cosmic explorations as Judai and Juna interpret these artifacts as symbols of archives, sorting systems, and intergalactic correspondence.
