So you can't say like hypothetically if there was a lone gluon?

And if there isn't some other colored object in the event?

A real gluon created from say, some particle annihilation or decay, should hadronize when in space correct? Well what if that gluon does not suffice in energy to form quarks? Does it become a glueball? That leads me into another question, why are glueballs theorized to have specific masses...
