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?

No, it's a reference to the great Leonid meteor storm of 1833.
There was an article about the effect of the 1833 Leonids in "Alabama Heritage Magazine" a few years back. I don't have the exact citation at hand.
