Narrative:
We were being vectored to the ILS runway 8 at burbank (bur) just outside of budde intersection at 3;000 feet when the flight attendant (who was sitting in the jump seat) described what she believes was a drone fly past us. The flight attendant estimated the object was at our exact altitude and about half a wingspan off to the left of our aircraft.neither the captain nor I ever saw it. We continued for an uneventful landing on runway 8.
