Without more information I couldn’t accurately categorize Blue’s aggression. It may be redirected aggression triggered by something he sees out the window but can’t reach, so he goes after you instead. Or it may be predatory aggression in which he takes play-stalking too far, gets wound up, and can’t control himself once engaged in “the hunt.” Some cats want to call the shots and get very pushy and controlling using bites to get their way.
I’d suggest that you stay alert to the situation. Perhaps the episodes only happen certain times of the day, after a particular type of meal-scent, or when a stray dog passes outside. If you can figure that out, you may be able to predict or even avoid some future episodes.
Meanwhile, if you notice Blue staring at you, avoid eye contact, which can be a challenge and escalate the aggression. Have a soft towel or comforter-throw available, and if he stalks you, toss it over top of the cat. Then leave the room and avoid contact with Blue for at least an hour. It can take quite a bit of time for cats to calm down.
