Conjecture: all a(n) except a(1) = 6 and a(2) = 10 are odd. Conjecture: all a(n) except a(5) = 35 are triangular numbers of the form p*(2p +/- 1) that belong to A068443(n) = {6, 10, 15, 21, 55, 91, 253, 703, 1081, 1711, 1891, 2701, ...} Triangular numbers with two distinct prime factors.
Besides 35 & 371953, all members were found by C(n, 2). - Robert G. Wilson v, Sep 16 2016

FORMULA
Intersection of A001358 and A006987. - Michael B. Porter, Sep 17 2016
EXAMPLE
C(5,2) = 5!/(3!*2!) = 120/(6*2) = 10 is a semiprime (A001358), so 10 is in the sequence. - Michael B. Porter, Sep 17 2016
