That means the sonar couldn't pick it up. Interesting.

There have been other incidence where American ships have incurred 'accidents'. I wonder if someone has invented something that can 'blind' ship's navigation?

Yeah. This one is a very interesting case indeed. Like some kind of an invisible cloak.
 
Sonar readings are hardly an exact science. There are all sorts of reasons something might be missed on sonar. It is also likely that this sub was operating only in passive mode--eg., listening but not actively pinging--because that's what subs often do to avoid being detected.

If there was something like a sea mount or other uncharted underwater obstacle where the sub was operating, it's easily possible it hit it simply because the available charts didn't show it was there.

That is reasonable. It's still unknown though.

There have been claims of cloaking devices the render objects invisible to sight. I've seen the videos but they're probably bullshit. But with the military, you never know.
