Narrative:
Just departed runway 22L at mdw. Encountered a near miss with a uas that was white with red stripes. I could not tell if it was a quadcopter or what. It happened so quick. We saw it and it disappeared under the aircraft. It was right in front of aircraft and below. I was just going thru 1000 MSL (400 AGL); cleared to 3000 from ATC. We informed midway tower of what we encountered.
