Narrative:
We were approaching to land with an ILS approach on runway 34 at gky arlington municipal airport tx; at an altitude about 2;400 ft MSL; established on localizer heading 342. Something in the opposite direction flew really close to us; very fast; close to our left wing. The object looked dark. I could say like a 'bullet' with a light behind him. I cannot be specific regarding his [its] dimension.
