Narrative:

Initially; I was looking inside the cockpit performing nfp pre-landing duties. PIC startled me as he brought my attention outside. I looked up in time enough to see the drone; shining and stable passing less than 300 feet off the starboard side. It might have been about 5 feet in length. It passed less than 300 feet below us. My gut is that it may have been as close as 150 below and 200 starboard. I immediately called TRACON; but she was occupied and delayed in responding to me. When I got her attention I reported us having passed a drone; the controller did not seem concerned and did not ask any questions. I even asked that she copied my report - she acknowledged and went on about her duties. My fellow pilot and I later debriefed on the incident and agreed that it was a drone; it appeared gray and black; maybe with white; and we agreed on our estimations of the approximate position of it passing our aircraft.a cursory search does not avail a drone reporting system; and I would suggest that either one be created or that this ASRS system provide accounting for drones. I would like to know what if anything can be confirmed about this incident; and express my serious concern for a drone at 6800 MSL; unreported; without TCAS; and passing so close to manned aircraft.
