Abstract  Relativistic effects of surface electromagnetic TM-wave propagation along the layer of isotropic collisionless plasmas with transversal moving in vacuum are discussed. In laboratory system of reference is shown that surface wave together with Doppler frequency increment  undergoes turn of a wave normal aside layer motion. It is established that due to linear relativistic contributions of electric and magnetic fields in longitudinal plasma polarizability to the frequency cutoff of spectrum in a laboratory system of reference is added bottom spectrum cutoff on the wave number, which together are interpreted as an expression of relativistic coupling of space-time continuum.
