-5*a(n)^2 + 3*b(n)^2 = 7, with the companion sequence b(n)= A077248(n).
In addition to the comment above: 3*b(n)^2 = 5*a(n-2)*a(n+2) + 112, where b(n) = (a(n+2) - a(n-2))/6 = A077248(n), n >= 2. - Klaus Purath, Aug 12 2021

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x)*(1+x+x^2)/(1-8*x^2+x^4).
From Klaus Purath, Aug 12 2021: (Start)
a(n) = 8*a(n-2) - a(n-4), n >= 4.
a(n) = (a(n-2)*a(n-4) - 168)/a(n-6), n >= 6.
a(n) = (a(n-1)*a(n-2) - 15/2 - 9/2*(-1)^n)/a(n-3), n >= 3. (End)
EXAMPLE
5*a(1)^2 + 7 = 5*4 + 7 = 27 = 3*3^2 = 3*A077248(1)^2.
