** Actually, rather than anything wrong with the theory, there are other stuff that actually supports this. One episode, Sir Hubris and the Gorgs, had trick or treaters, two of them dressed up as Kermit and Piggy. Also, Matt also appears in the wedding scene in Muppets Take Manhattan.

The series showing fizzgigs a couple times already implies the two worlds are connected so maybe a clan of Gelflings found their way into the Fraggle Rock world at some point in the distant past before the genocide happened, possibly even before the prequels. They probably then crossbred with another race and down the line, their descendants became less Gelfling-like and the females lost their wings after some generations down the line of evolution. Look at episode six of season two, Fraggles are able to share dreams similar to the Gelflings power to dreamfast (and coincidentally, Uncle Matt is watching the movie in his segment of this episode) and who's to say they can't also gaze into each other's memories as well since it's all the same headspace?

You see, in 1987 a Christmas special called ''[[Film/AMuppetFamilyChristmas]]'' was released, in which the Fraggles (and Doc and Sprocket) appear alongside characters from ''[[Series/TheMuppetShow]]'' and ''[[Series/SesameStreet]]''. Unless this special can somehow be proven non-canon to ''Fraggle Rock'' (it's clearly canon to ''The Muppet Show''), this would seem to imply that the Muppets exist in the world of Fraggle Rock. And given what we've seen in various Muppet films and shows, they're clearly famous. Now, if you lived in a world where a group of talking frogs and pigs and chickens and whatnot had their own successful stage show, and starred in films, and there was a whole street in New York City inhabited by bizarre monsters, and a giant bird, and a mammoth, and a vampire, and so on, would you really be that surprised to see a two-foot-tall Fraggle walking around outside? Of course not. Strange creatures like the Muppets and Fraggles are commonplace in the Henson Shared Universe and thus, while Matt may find the Silly Creatures strange, they don't find anything odd about him at all.

[[WMG: The reason humans aren't surprised to see Travelling Matt in Outer Space]]
Now, I'm sure most of you watching the show have thought once or twice about how little sense it makes that none of the humans, or "Silly Creatures", are ever surprised to see Uncle Travelling Matt, who clearly isn't human, walking around in the middle of major cities and directly interacting with them. But what if this is because creatures like the Fraggles are known to humans in the world of ''Fraggle Rock?"

This is a theory I created to explain some of the plot holes in Fraggle Rock, particularly in relation to the Gorgs', such as their location relative to Outer Space and their "kingdom". I devised this for a Fraggle Rock movie script fanfic I wrote, but it is now the official headcanon I have created to explain the enter series. Bear with me, as it's a bit long.
So basically, the Gorgs' garden isn't connected to Outer Space at all. It's located on a small island in a very remote part of the ocean, which is inhabited by the Gorgs, and other strange animals like the Trash Heap and Philo and Gunge. The island is both small and remote enough that it has never been discovered by humans. In olden times, there were Gorgs on the island, and the Gorg royal family (from whom Ma, Pa, and Junior are descended), who ruled it, believed that the island was the entire world, hence their belief that they are "the kings of the universe", since to them, the Gorg island ''is'' their universe.
Now, as to Fraggle Rock itself. Fraggle Rock is geographically located in North America. It is physically connected to Doc and Sprocket's house, but not to the Gorgs' garden. It is only connected to the Gorgs' island because the Gorgs know about the Fraggles, and believe in them. You see, all you have to do is believe in the Fraggles, to know they exist, and Fraggle Rock will follow you, and a portal to the Rock will appear in your home. Hence why Doc and Sprocket's new house also had a Fraggle hole in the final episode, or why Fozzie Bear's mother's house had one in ''Film/AMuppetFamilyChristmas'' (since Doc and Sprocket, who knew about the Fraggles, were staying at the house at the time). Thus, Doc and Sprocket's house will still contain a Fraggle hole after they both die and someone who doesn't know about the Fraggles moves in, because the Rock is physically connected to the house, but the one in Fozzie's mom's home disappeared as soon as Doc and Sprocket left, and the one in Doc and Sprocket's new house will disappear when they die or move out. As for the Gorgs, Fraggle Rock will stay connected to them for as long as they live in the garden, since they believe in the Fragles, but if the three Gorgs were to all die, or even just leave the island, Fraggle Rock would no longer be connected to them, and boom! No more radishes for the Fraggles.
BTW this theory only stands for the orignal show, since ''Series/FraggleRockBackToTheRock'' is set in a different continuity and also I haven't seen it.

[[WMG:Uncle Matt is a bank robber.]]
How does he get the money to ship Gobo postcards, and in ''Back to the Rock'', "artifacts"? Well, fraggles don't seem to have a concept of money, as it is never mentioned by them in any episode. So he frequently breaks into the "green paper farm" as he calls the bank and steals the hard earned cash of many unfortunate silly creatures, not seeing any wrong as he thinks money is a sustainable natural resource not owned by anyone.
