Narrative:

We were landing at den with the first officer hand flying in VMC. At 1000 AGL approximately 3 miles out a large yellow drone (approximately 4 feet across) flew right underneath our aircraft. It was about 50 feet below us. We did not have time to maneuver the aircraft at all in an avoidance maneuver. From the time I saw it to it flashing under the nose was about two seconds. It appeared to bank to the right (west) as it flew under us. We landed uneventfully.
