A few possibilities come to mind:

shutdown abort

user shuts off PC without logging off

user kills app without logging off

disgruntled DBA uses 'alter system kill session'

oracle crashes

server crashes

probably a few more

DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL: some logon session have no logoff

I have several entries in the dba_audit_trail that have ACTION_NAME=LOGON but the corresponding LOGOFF_TIME is NULL. The dba_audit_trail has exactly 1 row for that sessionid.

The issue is that these entries are several days (5-6) old, and there is no corresponding session in v$session (AUDSID). What happened to these (LOGON) sessions? Is it that they are logged-off by the system based on idle-time and do not get an audit entry ?
