Any number that you choose can be the nth term. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 5 such that the first five numbers are as listed in the question followed by your chosen number in the nth place. There are also non-polynomial solutions. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one.
Having said that, the simplest rule that will fit these numbers indicates thatU(n) = -8*n + 5
