A Yale-led team of astronomers found a third galaxy devoid of dark matter — located alongside the other two in a formation that has never been seen before.
Of course it is not a direct observation, if it were it would be called something else and the conversations would never had started.
Dark matter is more like a list of problems, observations that don’t correspond with our understanding of the universe. It is dark because we can’t anything causing them, and matter because it seems to be way too little mass for the gravitation effects we see.

That sounds more or less correct to me.
My quibble with your original comment is of course, unchanged, and I’m perfectly happy confining myself to the majority science POV on dark matter.
