COMMENTS
On Keller's linked page, to find the terms, you run through the tables and find all rows with k = 3 and with n exactly 3 greater than m, then that m belongs to this sequence. - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Dec 04 2018
EXAMPLE
a(1)=38 because 38 is the smallest positive integer k for which 1 + 6*2^(k+2) divides the Fermat number 1 + 2^2^k.
MATHEMATICA
aQ[n_] := PowerMod[2, 2^n, 1 + 6*2^(n+2)] == 6*2^(n+2); Select[Range[3000000], aQ] (* Amiram Eldar, Dec 04 2018 *)
