It is impossible to know what the pattern is, or what the next number(s) are.

Any subsequent numbers will make a valid sequence.

There are an infinite number of "patterns" that will produce the given sequence; and they will produce different subsequent numbers.

Without any more information about the given sequence, any problem like this is just a guessing game. Spend as much (or as little) time as you want looking for a logical pattern -- knowing that any pattern you find might not be "right".
