Narrative:
While flying the Flipper6 arrival at approximately luvly intersection and level at 8;000 ft.; I observed a drone pass to the left and just below the aircraft. It was black; had 4 propellers and was moving rapidly in the same direction as us. It had something hanging from it; a purse or duffel bag perhaps; maybe a plastic bag. I only saw it for a few seconds and reported it to approach control. He responded 'another drone huh?'. It was about 100 ft below a 100 ft south of us.
