It means that something happened that was completely unexpected or unforeseen, like an item falling out of a blue sky. This phrase comes from an older one, "like a bolt out of the blue," that is, a lightning bolt that materializes from a cloudless sky to suddenly strike the earth. In other words, whatever took place "out of the blue" seems to have had a mysterious, unknown origin.
