The filter is derived from the “Alien Glow” script (File → Create → Logos → Alien Glow in the image window), which creates the following text effect:

The “Alien Glow” Script-Fu script.

Reproducing this 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.

You can find this filter in the image window menu under Filters → Alpha to Logo → Alien Glow.
