'''''Not The Actual Events''''' (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 29]]''''') is the second proper EP from [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It was released digitally on December 23, 2016, though pre-orders through [[nin.com]] allowed for a download one day early. This is the first release to include [[Atticus Ross]] as an official member of NIN.

[[Image:Ntae_pc.jpg|thumb|Physical component package]]
[[Image:halo_twenty_nine_printed.jpg|thumb|Halo Twenty Nine text]]In addition to a wide digital release, the EP was offered through nin.com in two other formats. One was a single-sided vinyl, and the other was a digital + "physical component for you to deal with" version. The physical component includes thick card stock papers containing song lyrics, various images and soot that will cover your hands upon opening. Many different unique variants have been reported. The EP was released on CD on November 17, 2017. The warning sticker on the physical component's outer packaging reads:
<blockquote>To be read IN ITS ENTIRETY before opening. Actions have consequences! N.T.A.E. may contain subversive elements that produce feelings of euphoria and may be harmful and unsettling to the consumer. Likewise, this physical package may lead to unrealized expectations or unexpected results upon opening. Caution should be exercised with both. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT... This will make a mess. By opening this envelope in any way, you assume all risks to your person and/or property, and waive any claim against [[The Null Corporation]], any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities from any and all damages or harm you may incur.</blockquote>
 
"Halo Twenty Nine" is also faintly printed on the reverse of the final sheet, confirming its official halo number status.
Side B of the vinyl version features 3 additional, unlisted tracks from ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' in reverse: "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]", "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]" and "[[Reptile]]".
==Artwork==
The cover artwork harks back to that of ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' and ''[[Still]]''. There are seven known variantsof the digital art, including the final version.
