COMMENTS
The sequence appears to thin out quite abruptly; however, by solving the Diophantine equation x^2 + 1 = p (y^2 + 1) for a suitable prime p and selecting the solutions (x, y) for which p divides y^2 + 1, it is easy to generate larger pairs, such as (423222288438379883442890018716361, 66096216900526495715353522199871). - Giovanni Resta, Mar 27 2017
A very interesting property: the sequence contains a subsequence of pairs (Lucas numbers L(i), Fibonacci numbers F(i)) for i = 4, 6, 14, 16, 24, 36, ... These pairs are (L(4), F(4)), (L(6), F(6)), (L(14), F(14)), (L(16), F(16)), (L(24), F(24)), (L(26), F(26)), (L(34), F(34)), ... = (7, 3), (18, 8), (843, 377), (2207, 987), (103682, 46368), (271443, 121393), (12752043, 5702887), ... It seems that {i} = A090773(n) (numbers that are congruent to {4, 6} mod 10. - Michel Lagneau, Mar 28 2017
This is because L(i)^2+1 = 5*(F(i)^2+1) for even i, and 5 | F(i)^2 + 1 for i== 3,4,6,7 (mod 10). In fact (L(i), F(i)) for i in A090773 are the solutions of the generalized Pell equation x^2 + 1 = 5 (y^2 + 1) for which 5 | y^2 + 1. - Robert Israel, Apr 10 2017

EXAMPLE
The pair (843, 377) is in the sequence because the prime factors of 843^2 + 1 and 377^2 + 1 are 2, 5, 61 and 233.
