I heard that the product "COMET" (cleaning abrasive) was named after the Halley's Comet return of 1910, when the earth passsed through its tail. People "freaked" when this occurred!

Very cool! I didn't know there was a song about a meteor shower. Any poems?
Other slogans? Canned food labels?

"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.
