you can check what it is with the command
file /path/to/ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run
and if it says that it's a POSIX shell script text executable
or something of that sort.. you'd be able to just run it in the terminal with 'sh /path/to/ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run'
or you can make it executable by doing
chmod +x /path/to/ufoai-2.2.1-linux.run
and then try to open the file in the terminal

Thank you renkinjutsu.
It is POSIX shell script and the installation works fine.
