Blue jet lightning caught in time-lapse

I was up on the roof of my holiday apartments, Darwin, Australia on the evening of 27 February 2017, taking pictures of this storm 100 km away. I just caught out of the corner of my eye a shot of light going vertical. I immediately thought it might have been a lightning jet or sprite, but couldn’t really believe it so thought maybe it was just my eyelash catching a bit of background light. However was amazed to find nestled in the 100s of pictures a blue jet. Never seen one before and don’t expect to see one again.

I’m trying to figure out how rare this actually is.
