Narrative:

While on a visual approach to runway 23R at rdu; myself and the captain witnessed a drone hovering in close proximity to the final approach course. The event occurred on short final; approximately 400 feet AGL less than 1 mile to touch down. I noticed the object start at the 11 to 12 O'clock position and shift to our left and pass off the left side. We reported the sighting to ATC who advised other aircraft and notified in trail aircraft on final. No deviation or evasive action was required. Post flight walk around showed no signs of impact with the object. Flight landed without incident rdu tower and approach control coordinated with local authorities.
