The narrowly collimated, a few km wide, beams of light propagated from the top of the thundercloud to the top stratosphere with velocity ~100 km/s have been unexpectedly discovered during aircraft observations of sprites and termed `blue jets'. Several ideas have already been suggested to explain this unusual phenomenon. Yet the observations are still scarce, and the nature of the blue jets is still not clear. In this paper, an assessment is given of the present state of the blue jet theories. Different predictions which follow from the proposed models are highlighted. Possible consequences of the blue jets for the electrodynamics and chemistry of the middle atmosphere are discussed.
