Velocity transformation is used to change system coordinates in order to simplify the solution of problems that involve relativistic collisions of particles. In this paper I check how the energy of a particle A that moves with some velocity VA toward an observer S* is seen by an observer S , under the condition that both observers sees the same energy. I found that although observer in S* sees particle A with a real rest mass momentum and energy. Observer S sees two particles. If they move in opposite direction, One of those particles have an imaginary rest mass momentum and energy. I could not decide if the case is only a numerical problem or it is also physical. I expect that those who will read this paper are more experienced then me and will find if the imaginary rest mass is physically true or false. And will suggest how to use it in practical situations.
