"Can anyone tell me what this license plate 
slogan refers to from Alabama:

"Stars Fell on Alabama"

Is it in reference to the Wetumpka impact?"

It might come from a popular song written by Mitchell 
Parrish and Frank Perkins in 1934 and recorded by 
Frank Sinatra in 1953 and recorded by Jimmy Buffett
in 1981. The song itself refers to a meteor shower 
that was seen across Alabama on November 12-13, 
1833.
