Black holes have only been observed indirectly.

Explanation:

The first black hole was Cygnus X1 which was a galactic radio source which could only be explained by a black hole.

More recently star have been observed at the centre of our galaxy which are moving so fast that they have to be orbiting a body with a mass of 4 mission times that of the Sun which is smaller than the solar system. This can only be a supermassive black hole.
