COMMENTS
The coefficients of the BS1 matrix are defined by BS1[2*m-1,n] = int(y^(2*m-1)/(cosh(y))^(2*n-1),y=0..infinity)/factorial(2*m-1) for m = 1, 2, ... and n = 1, 2, ... .
This definition leads to BS1[2*m-1,n=1] = 2*beta(2*m), for m = 1, 2, ..., and the recurrence relation BS1 [2*m-1,n] = (2*n-3)/(2*n-2)*(BS1[2*m-1,n-1] - BS1[2*m-3,n-1]/(2*n-3)^2) which we used to extend our definition of the BS1 matrix coefficients to m = 0, -1, -2, ... . We discovered that BS1[ -1,n] = 1 for n = 1, 2, ... . As usual beta(m) = sum((-1)^k/(1+2*k)^m, k=0..infinity).
The coefficients in the columns of the BS1 matrix, for m = 1, 2, 3, ..., and n = 2, 3, 4, ..., can be generated with the GK(z;n) polynomials for which we found the following general expression GK(z;n) = ((-1)^(n+1)*CFN2(z;n)*GK(z;n=1) + BETA(z;n))/p(n).
The CFN2(z;n) polynomials depend on the central factorial numbers A008956.
The BETA(z;n) are the Beta polynomials which lead to the Beta triangle.
The zero patterns of the Beta polynomials resemble a UFO. These patterns resemble those of the Eta, Zeta and Lambda polynomials, see A160464, A160474 and A160487.
The first Maple algorithm generates the coefficients of the Beta triangle. The second Maple algorithm generates the BS1[2*m-1,n] coefficients for m = 0, -1, -2, -3, ... .
Some of our results are conjectures based on numerical evidence, see especially A160481.

FORMULA
We discovered a relation between the Beta triangle coefficients BETA(n,m) = (2*n-3)^2* BETA(n-1,m)- BETA(n-1,m-1) for n = 3, 4, ... and m = 2, 3, ... with BETA(n,m=1) = (2*n-3)^2*BETA(n-1,m=1) - (2*n-4)! for n = 2, 3, ... and BETA(n,n) = 0 for n = 1, 2, ... .
The generating functions GK(z;n) of the coefficients in the matrix columns are defined by
GK(z;n) = sum(BS1[2*m-1,n]*z^(2*m-2), m=1..infinity) with n = 1, 2, ... .
This definition leads to GK(z;n=1) = 1/(z*cos(Pi*z/2))*int(sin(z*t)/sin(t),t=0..Pi/2).
Furthermore we discovered that GK(z;n) = GK(z;n-1)*((2*n-3)/(2*n-2)-z^2/((2*n-2)*(2*n-3)))-1/((2*n-2)*(2*n-3)) for n = 2, 3, ... .
We found the following general expression for the GK(z;n) polynomials, for n = 2, 3, ...,
GK(z;n) = ((-1)^(n+1)*CFN2(z;n)*GK(z;n=1) + BETA(z;n))/p(n) with p(n) = (2*n-2)!.
EXAMPLE
The first few rows of the triangle BETA(n,m) with n=2,3,... and m=1,2,... are
[ -1],
[ -11, 1],
[ -299, 36, -1],
[ -15371, 2063 -85, 1].
The first few BETA(z;n) polynomials are
BETA(z;n=2) = -1,
BETA(z;n=3) = -11 + z^2,
BETA(z;n=4) = -299 + 36*z^2 - z^4.
The first few CFN1(z;n) polynomials are
CFN2(z;n=2) = (z^2 - 1),
CFN2(z;n=3) = (z^4 - 10*z^2 + 9),
CFN2(z;n=4) = (z^6 - 35*z^4 + 259*z^2 - 225).
The first few generating functions GK(z;n) are
GK(z;n=2) = ((-1)*(z^2-1)*GK(z,n=1) + (-1))/2,
GK(z;n=3) = ((z^4 - 10*z^2 + 9)*GK(z,n=1)+ (-11 + z^2))/24,
GK(z;n=4) = ((-1)*(z^6 - 35*z^4 + 259*z^2 - 225)*GK(z,n=1) + (-299 + 36*z^2 - z^4))/720.
