The Aurora Encounter (1986)

Plot: In 1897, the routine life of a small, quiet Texas town is disrupted when a tiny, benevolent extraterrestrial pilot crash-lands his spaceship nearby. As the local children are instantly charmed by the peaceful traveler, their skeptical parents grow increasingly fearful of the unknown. When a ambitious newspaper reporter pushes the visitor into the headlines, the local governor deploys a hard-nosed Texas Ranger to step in, forcing the community to decide whether to attack or protect their companion from another world.
