The below statement surprised me. That is not how noise blanking normally works; normally it will suppress any wide band pulse. The typical arrangement uses a high bandwidth, low delay, path, to detect the pulse. It can then mute the signal path by the time the pulse gets through the narrower filters on the main path. That will happen with single, or randomly spaced spikes.

The Noise Blanker only affects repetitive pulse noise such as ignition type noise.  Lightning and atmospheric is random noise.
