Buffaloaf, 7 months ago to strangetimes in Video captures mysterious boom that startled neighborhood near Salt Lake International Airport

Sonic boom from a jet would be my guess. When I was a kid I lived near an air force base and sometimes a plane would go by at supersonic speed at low-ish altitude. It literally felt, and sounded, like a huge explosion. Windows rattling, ears ringing, all of that.

I guess fireball unless some evidence of an explosion area or debris shows up. The light/shadow seems to suggest a source up in the air.

This looks like an explosive because of the flash that accompanies it. Many similar explosions happen every year. What are people blowing up in suburban areas and why?

it's not entirely suburban; there is a fair amount of industrial stuff nearby. Particularly ATK Launch Systems Bacchus Works.

I think this is the permit for Bacchus works:
