Where to Find
The boxes are not immediately obvious at first glance, you gotta look around a bit. But what you are looking for are not actually boxes, but meteorites! They are grey and embedded in the earth.


Untouched Meteor


Meteor cracking open

When you find one, click on it a few times to crack it open, then use the telekinesis power to bring it over to your civilization. There's a handy feature where you press "F" while holding it and it will bring you right to the center!



When I started up one game, I found 3 already spawned in around the world; in another game, 5. Seems randomization plays a role here. You will find more as the game continues via UFOs and Meteorites (Disaster).
Learning About Boxes
Looking at your new boxes, you'll see three rows of question marks and the options to open or scrap them. While the boxes are sitting in the center of your civilization, your nuggets will research them in their free time. This will slowly turn those question marks into letters and give you one clue about the box, until all three are deciphered. Then it is up to you to open the box or not.

I don't recommend opening them before this, as you would be taking a gamble. These boxes can contain goodies but also harmful effects. Off the top of my head I have obtained a nugget with exotic pink skin (that was inheritable by their descendants!) and also a straight up explosion. Open at your own risk.
The Clues
I'd like to start a list of all possible descriptions that can show up on the boxes, and see if some correlations can be found on some combinations. So please comment any you get that are not listed.

Helping Out
If you have any clues on your boxes that are not listed here, or any info that is missing from the listed, please write them down in the comments and say what the results of opening the box were too! It'd be a huge help, especially with the Blue and Red clues. It ain't much, but you'll be credited next to your clue as well.
Farming

I think the color indicates how much it will give. I got "The box weighs a ton and is tightly packed" twice, one was green and the other was blue. It seemed that the green gave 30 bricks and the blue one gave 50 bricks
