The values are in the reverse order of ASCII values of the Vowels
85, 79, 73, 69 equals to
U, O, I, E
So A's equivalent ASCII code is $65$
One more possible
The difference of 85 - 79 = 6
The difference of 79 - 73 = 6
The difference of 73 - 69 = 4
The difference of 69 - x = 4
So, x = 69 - 4 => 65
Totally random answer to the seemingly totally random question:
67
Because
subtracting 26 from each of those, results in consecutive primes in a reversed order: 59, 53, 47, 43. The next one in this sequence is 41, so adding the 26 back again, the final answer is 67.
