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:
