OK this looks to be some kind of streaming video content.

This can either be viewed via a plugin or via an application. since it 
says oleobject -- I will guess that this is a Windows Media File so you 
will need:

Windows Media Player for the mac to view it. You can download it for 
free from somewhere in the vicinity of www.microsoft.com. (this is the 
application that just got M$ a €500m fine at the European courts.)

Try downloading this and then viewing it again. You may need to tell 
Safari that the "helper application" it needs is WM player.
