According to heavens-above.com, the ISS would have been visible over northern MI on 10/10/16 at 19:53 hours for about 7 minutes at a max. altitude of 25º moving from WNW to NE. You’ll have to determine if that fits.
Normally an aircraft will show up as a red & white (or just white) series of dots as its flashing lights create a path across the sky.
A meteor will usually show up as a streak with a taper at one or both as it increases, then dies in brightness.
A satellite (e.g., the ISS) will usually show up as a thin line with no interruptions for the duration of the exposure (or during its period of visibility).

That matches the time and direction the photograph was taken.
It was taken at 24mm focal length, exposure was f 2.8, 30 seconds, ISO 1600.
I was in the northern portion on the lower peninsula of Michigan.
The ISS was over the northern shore of Lake Superior. (quite a distance from where the shot was taken)
Thanks,
John
