Good catch on finding that spaceship scene, thanks. Unfortunately, that's not it. A couple more details that might help : The ship was large enough to fill the upper portion of the tv screen and the ship was moving slowly, almost just drifting, from the left to the right side of the screen.

I'm also pretty sure there were street lights and some trees in the foreground and it was a suburban setting. I really wish they wouldn't roll the credits so fast so that I could at least get some more info.

Just from reading your first post I believe it might be the movie Laserblast from 1978. Hope this helps.

Though a number of movies have alternate endings the only one I'm aware of for Laserblast takes place during the day and the ship isn't very big. Thanks though.

The ship I remember is huge.  I would say along the lines of the Destiny from Stargate Universe.

Tough one … in case it’s a European production, it could be 1981s “La Soupe aux Choux”, one of Louis de Funis final films, where the aliens carry off part of a French countryside hamlet. Again, I would love to post a youtube link to the soundtrack (which, like the film, was absolutely cool – can only recommend it), but the site won’t allow me.

Trees and lights. Might be the space ship ending of INVADERS FROM MARS (86 version).

Possibly Strange Invaders?

I can't remember if the finale involved an actual spaceship, but it definitely had extraterrestrials in a suburban setting.

Sorry I haven't replied in so long; I've been real busy and kind of gave up hope this one would be solved. Unfortunately, it's not any of the films mentioned and I did see all of them, except for the French one -which looks interesting.

I really do think it may have been an alternate ending that many haven't seen, otherwise the film buffs here probably would have identified it right away. Thanks for the responses though.

The only thing I can think of is Target Earth from 1998

Not sure if the OP will be back but came across a possible solution: THE ALIENS ARE COMING (80) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080348/

The final shot of the director's cut of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS matches the following criteria: underside of a flat(ish) UFO in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, in a suburban setting/small town, and after this shot the credits roll to some EXTREMELY cool music ("The Stroll" performed by The Diamonds). The major bit that doesn't match is that the UFO isn't leaving... it's hovering in the shot and beaming a searchlight or laser beam on to the ground. In the event that the original poster ever makes it back and sees this, please check out the Special Edition DVD or Blu-Ray of NOTC to see this (incredible) ending (or maybe it's on Youtube). It WAS the ending that played on TV in the late 80s and into the 90s, but for some foolish reason these awesome final 2-3 minutes were replaced with a truncated/abrupt jump scare ending on the early VHS versions (and maybe early DVDs as well). Well-worth checking out the uncut and complete finale, which is 1 billion times cooler!

The person who asked was last active 9 years ago. I'll move this and some of the older ones to the little-used "Unsolved Archives" section.
