I think that middle earth was our earth long ago, he refers to star constellations that we have (sickle* the asterisk tells us the sickle is what the hobbits call the great bear which in turn we call big dipper)
It is also noted that the lands where for instance treebeard wandered are now under the see and that some hobbits do still linger in the northwest.
