I'm imagining it, too bad it wasn't what happened. We had already bombed the hell out of Japan, destroying most of their major cities. In fact, the March 9-10 raids on tokyo killed 100,000 people. Your idea about "all our fighters being shot down" is ridiculous, we were successfully bombing the hell out of japan for months when we dropped the atomic bomb.

The Japanese had a huge fleet of jet planes UNDERGROUND. Many of the Japanese defenses and such were UNDERGROUND. And not only was it all underground, it was in the mountains where we didn't find out about it until after the war. Hell, we didn't even know Japanese were there until after the war.
And my idea about all of our fighters being shot down is pretty accurate. US fighter planes throughout the war had been below par compared to axis fighters. Jet fighters would have taken all planes to a new level on American fighters could not have competed. Bombers would also probably have a hard time making bombing runs when all their escorts are shot down.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
