Narrative:
On final approach into dallas 13L; I saw a dark object pass the right side of the aircraft. I asked the first officer if we passed a bird or a balloon; and he said it looked like a drone. He passed onto tower what he saw; and we landed without incident. It did not affect the approach or landing. The observer in the jumpseat confirmed what the first officer saw.
