Formula

From Franck Maminirina Ramaharo, Jan 08 2019: (Start)

G.f.: -(1 - 6*y + 2*x*y^2)/(1 - (5 + x)*y + 5*x*y^2).

E.g.f.: -(10 - 2*x - (5 - 2*x)*exp(5*y) + (20 - 5*x)*exp(x*y))/(25 - 5*x). (End)

Mathematica

b[0] = {-1}; b[1] = {1, -1};
b[n_] := b[n] = Join[{5^(n - 1)}, {-b[n - 1][[1]]}, Table[b[n - 1][[i]], {i, 2, Length[b[n - 1]]}]];
Flatten[Table[b[n], {n, 0, 10}]]
