What do you think would be the reason for not observing dark matter in our galaxy? Are there any implications if dark matter is not observed in our galaxy but is observed in other galaxies?

Dark matter is only inferred in other galaxies as well. Dark matter has never been directly observed. Only their gravitation effects have been observed.

I understand that dark matter has not been observed and in fact can't be observed directly with the mechanism's in place.

I'm goign googling to see if their are any papers on the existence of dark matter in our galaxy.

I'll be back, sooner or later.
