Narrative:

After landing on runway 17 at mco, at approximately 100 KTS I saw something on the runway centerline directly in front of the aircraft. I displaced the nose gear very slightly off centerline to avoid the object. The object passed between the nose gear and the main landing gear. I advised the tower of the object. Later we were advised it was a 12 ft section from a widebody transport stabilizer. A post flight inspection revealed no damage to our act.
