Pretty sure it is about a young american boy who goes into space and there are aliens involved. Would be pre 90's or very very early 90's. All I can remember is the boy waking up/getting up from desk or something and going to his window, there is a light coming from outside through his blinds. He goes outside and finds an alien (Not sure what point this is at, if this is later or not) Pretty sure ends with him and a girl near a spaceship and maybe he is going back to space.
Would love to see this again!
