contents The $(k,l)$-Göbel sequences defined by Ibstedt remain integers for the first (in some cases, many) terms, but for selected values of $(k,l)$, computations show that the terms eventually stop being integers. It is still unresolved whether the integrality of these sequences breaks down for all $k, l\geq 2$. In this article, we prove the non-integrality for a specific class of $(k,l)$ values. Our proof is based on geometric arguments related to the distribution of quadratic residues modulo a prime.
