This filter adds an eerie glow around the active layer's alpha.
The filter is derived from the 「Alien Glow」 script ( → → → in the image window), which creates a logo with the above text effect.

This is actually the font size option of the 「Alien Glow」 Script-Fu script. However, two values will be set in relation to this size: the glow will be enlarged by 「Glow size」 / 30, and feather radius is 「Glow size」 / 4. You should probably choose the height of your objects for this option (ignore 「pixels * 4」).
This is the color of the 「eerie」 glowing. Of course it defaults to green (63,252,0), but a click on the swatch button brings up the color selector where you can choose any color.
Reproducing an eerie alien glow is easy:
If necessary, create a selection from the alpha channel of the active layer.
Fill the selection with the following Gradient Blend: Shape = Shaped (spherical); Gradient = FG to BG (RGB), with FG = dark gray (79,79,79), BG = black.
Create a new layer (「Alien Glow」) below. Extend the selection slightly, feather it, and fill it with the Glow color.
Create a new background layer filled with black.
