What software/hardware were they using to create the point cloud? It seems a little odd that there was no file extension at all, which seems to indicate it is a raw point cloud data. These need to be converted to an indexed file format before they can be opened in any software. You can try simply adding a particular indexed extension to it and it "could" possibly work in some software.
