Here we discuss an effect of gravitational decoherence due to time dilation on the collective radiation dynamics of atomic system in timed single-photon Dicke states. We show that a photon absorbed by the stationary system of randomly placed stationary atoms is no more spontaneously emitted in the direction of the impinging photon. Time-dilation effect leads to broadening of the angular distribution of the emitted photon. Even for the spherically symmetric gravitational field, the broadening has specific non-symmetrical character.
