FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-3) - a(n-6) for n>6.
G.f.: 2*x*(17 + 19*x + 33*x^2 - 51*x^3 - 33*x^4 - 19*x^5) / (1 - 6*x^3 + x^6).
EXAMPLE
38 is in the sequence because (x, y) = (38,144) is a solution to y^2 = 72*x^2 - 83232.
PROG
(PARI) Vec(2*x*(17 + 19*x + 33*x^2 - 51*x^3 - 33*x^4 - 19*x^5) / (1 - 6*x^3 + x^6) + O(x^40))
