Hi,
welcome to the forum

your lwo has 22 polygons which hava more than 4 vericles
Wz can onyl read polygons with 3 or 4 points.
open the model in Lightwave Modeler an Press Ctrl + t to triangulize the mesh, is should work then.

in Lightwave I only trippled the mesh with CTRL + T
and saved the spaceship.lwo at C:\
next I started wz and loaded the lwo with the lightwave operator.

some ruels to load Lightwave objects
1. Tripple the mesh
2. no open edges like holes
3. no subdived mesh, if press Tab to transfor the subdivison faces into normal faces
4. load the lwos from a shourt datapath like C:\lwo\nameofthe.lwo
