You are operating a boat at night you see green and white light on another boat what did these lights tell you?

The green and white lights on another boat indicate that it is a power-driven vessel underway. The green light is typically shown on the starboard (right) side, while the white light is the stern light. This configuration suggests that the other boat is approaching from your right side, and you should be cautious and ready to give way or adjust your course as necessary to avoid a collision.
