This problem came up in MathOverflow. The author wanted all three sides to be triangular. It appears that there is only one such triangle. This sequence was formed by relaxing the requirement on the hypotenuse. Sequence S000338 gives the three sides of the triangle.

Example: The first term, 35, is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose sides are 21 and 28, the sixth and seventh triangular numbers.
