The monopole singularity string, infinite direct line in the rest reference frame, is considered as a rigid physical line, and behavior of its geometrical form under the Lorentz transformations is studied. The method to test the form of any rigid line or surface in relativistical terms is based on the use of light signals emitted from the origin of the reference frame. Influence of the motion of the reference frame on the form of singularity line is as follows: (1) in general case, when the line does not go through the origin of the rest reference frame the line in the moving reference frame becomes a hyperbola; (2) in the special case, when the line of singularity goes through the origin of the rest reference frame, the line in the moving reference preserves its form only modified by the relativistical aberration effect.
Key words: Dirac monopole, reference frame, Lorentz transformation, singularity line
