Speaking of a box carried by ET, look back to the ancient Japaneses story of Utsuro Bune...

When she spoke, she spoke in a unfamiliar language and in her arms she held a timber box about 60cm in length. To the people, it appeared as though the box was very special to the young woman and she did not allow people to touch it.
J. The timeline for the CR is as follows:
1) 1947: CR found in the second crash site.
2) 1949: Los Alamos scientists first conducted experiments with CR. At this time, no one knew what it was. Some scientists thought it was just a window.
3) 1954: Sandia Labs conducted several experiments with the CR, but still didn’t know its actual use.
4) 1955: CR was lent to Westinghouse for experiments.
5) 1958: CR was lent to Corning Glass in an effort to determine its construction material.
6) 1962: CR’s first “official” test conducted at Los Alamos and published in a classified report.
7) 1970: CR was determined to be more than a window. The CR was found to fit into a space on the spacecraft. Scientists determined CR was some sort of energy device.
8) 1978: CR determined to be a high powered energy device that provided electrical power to the spacecraft.
9) 1982: CR was first tested and produced energy.
10) 1987: CR was given to E-Systems for extensive testing.
11) 1990: CR was proven to be an UNLIMITED POWER SYSTEM. The construction and contents of the CR was learned. However, no one knew just how it worked.
12) 1998: CR project, “The Magic Cube” was started in an effort to accelerate the knowledge of the device. 13) 2001: CR project, “The Magic Cube” was transferred from Los Alamos’ Futures Division to its “Special Projects ˆ Section K” division.

True that some were almost prophetic in their visions of the future like Asimov, Bradbury, and Roddenberry. But for every close vision of things to come there were countless absurd visions of the laughable kind in these days of the future from those times of the recent past.
Gene Roddenberry's communicators, tricorders, and other devices were years ahead of their time and sort of came true. But the fallacy of many of the past visionaries was the over sight of micro engineering and materials. We don't need a wall of blinking lights for a desktop computer nor a brick size communicator to talk with others. The visions were great and some became fact but not in the way the author's and artist envisioned.
Asimov was the most futuristic and science driven visionary IMO. Just think of what the future holds after micro engineering has run its course. Maybe machination on sub atomic scales without bulky cubes or devices and not on the visual scale bordering on the magical.
