It looks like they triangulate it somehow. But what is the input source?

Electromagnetic (link is the "participants" tab on the top). You can tell because there's a smattering of telltale RF terms in the "comments" fields (coax, ferrites, E-field antenna, etc). I imagine that lightning strikes emit a fairly broad spectrum (localization in time -> delocalization in frequency) so the detectors might not all use the same band.
