Narrative:
While transitioning from the RNAV arrival to the approach; a uas passed directly under us; probably within a couple hundred feet. The first officer saw it; and could not identify what kind or exactly the size; but saw a glint of metal; said it seemed maybe several feet in diameter. No indications showed up on the TCAS. We were leveling off at 5;000 feet heading west. We reported the sighting to ATC; and responded to their questions in stages (workload permitting).
