Perhaps it was just a horrible & more efficient way to end the war than an actual invasion. If you look at what was planned, based on the way the Pacific War was fought, Japan would have been destroyed as a nation, possibly even as a people. Operation Olympic planners considered the use of chemical and biological weapons, and as they learned about the weapon, even some tactical use of nukes. The Japanese were ready to turn their whole nation into a kamikaze force, making their country one big open grave. The history of that war, and pretty much any war, is the balance of horrible choices in order to get the job done. Morality really doesn't enter into it.

It's not impossible the dud could be British, the RN sent a task force to work under USN command so they could be in at the death, as the saying goes.

Interesting. Wild animals have been finding ways to settle into American cities for some time now. Coyotes are apparently quite adaptable. Now there are indications of bears and mountain lions making their move.
