Mystery: Entire village (people and pets) in Kazakhstan falls asleep for days

Kazakhstan Village Sleeping Sickness
fricking Soviet bloc...
quote:
In a village in Kazakhstan, a strange phenomenon has been occurring for some time now: People black out without getting drunk, then fall asleep for hours at a time. When they wake up, they don’t remember a thing.
The mysterious plague is referred to as the “sleeping sickness,” and while scientists and government officials are still confused as to what causes it, there have been plenty of speculations. Some have linked it to high levels of radiation, while others believe it might be carbon monoxide, radon, or heavy metal salts — all of which can be toxic to humans at certain amounts. Yet many villagers believe it’s emanating from an abandoned Soviet uranium mine near the village, called the Krasnogorskiy mine.

Now, according to a recent announcement by the Kazakh government, the answer to the sleeping sickness does apparently lie in the uranium mines. Berdibek Saparabaev, Kazakhstan’s deputy prime minister, claims that researchers found that high levels of carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons from the uranium mines explained the sudden sleepiness and accompanying symptoms.
“The uranium mines were closed at some point, and at times a concentration of carbon monoxide occurs there,” Saparabaev said, according to The Guardian. “The oxygen in the air is reduced accordingly, which is the real reason for the sleeping sickness in these villages.” But plenty of scientists around the world are skeptical about this conclusion.
quote:
The sleeping sickness began to hit in March 2013, when villagers, children, and even their pets began mysteriously falling asleep — at home, on the job, even behind the wheel. Since then, it has affected some 140 or more people in a population of 810. Accompanying symptoms included dizziness, severe headache, nausea, and memory loss.

Found the cause. There's got to be a giant umbrella somewhere around there

Aliens for sure
Due to the advent of cell phone cameras aliens cannot risk good old fashioned abductions without getting caught. They are invading our dreams and keeping us in a state of unconsciousnessfor extended periods in order to conduct research.
