Those must be those long-lost URES files that the US government's been hiding for decades - I gave the NSA a call for you :)
Joking aside, maybe you could give us more info? I'm guessing the files didn't just fall out of the sky and into your tmp folder... can you give us some background? Does this actually relate to linux at all? ... I just saw your question also posted on Stack Overflow, where you stated that you're running windows, and don't know what the "file" command is. Being a linux users group (Right there in the name, if you missed that), I don't know how much support you're going to get here. You should chose your forum intelligently.
