Ok is this from a synth or just from maybe a popular sample CD of its time (saying that I got a few amount of sample cd's and it's not on them)
I was thinking yamaha TG500 or korg 01/w ... rompler stuff
the 3 examples I found:
10:40
0:14
I know it's not a very important sound, but it's important to me! lol

The Enigma stuff is 01W in its entirety (in fact, a preset - can't tell you the name right now, because my 01R/W is still comatose).
The other is a simple patch with immense pitch envelope slope or slow LFO ramp-up modulation retriggered.

That first link at 10:40? All I heard was a little comb filter and some woman breathing heavily. Whatchou talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Anyway, you want spaceship sound? I was able to reproduce the sound of the Red Lectroid service pod from the end portion of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai &c., in about five to ten minutes of fiddling, using Novation V-Station starting from an init patch. It ain't that hard. Apply yourself. Unfortunately I accidentally hit Save twice instead of Save and Confirm so it disappeared instantly. Ain't that always the way? Do you know de wae?

The Korg 01/W and Yamaha TG500 didn't exist in 1990 when Enigma's first record came out.
The 2nd example is a self-oscillating low-pass filter going from low cut-off to high.
The first example could be a self-oscillating filter, but really hard to tell in that mix.
EDIT: Upon 2nd listening, the first example is most likely a filter sweep through a delay.
