The A-12 was never finished. The pictures you see are of a full scale model, not an actual operational prototype.
Many of the famous Black Triangle ufos don't match with the looks of the A-12. Black Triangle ufos often are reported to have cut edges, there are major contrasts in size, and the lights underneath don't match with the A-12.

Additionally, the performances of the A-12 have nothing to do with the performances of Black Triangle ufos as measured by radar on several occasions.
The A-12 cannot hover, or fly at the speed of a bicycle at 50 meters altitude, or have 40G acceleration when chased.
