Oh, for pete's sake, of course this song is about alien abduction. The name of the band, "A Flock of Seagulls" is from some quote on being abducted, the authorities scoff at the report, saying the victim saw a flock, not a UFO. the beam of light from a "cloud" is the girl getting abducted, but the singer, at first terrified (and running), but in the end in love, reaches out to touch her, and floats in the beam with her, getting abducted too.
