Narrative:

We were on approach into slc; I was the PF and currently hand flying the aircraft to a landing. At about 14.5 NM from the runway at 8500 ft; I noticed a small object appear in the flight path. The object; which appeared to be a drone as it got closer; passed over the top of the aircraft within 100 ft. The captain notified ATC of what we saw. The approach continued to a normal landing. During the post flight walk around; no visual damage was found. Someone was flying a drone where they were not supposed to be. People need to be better educated on the consequences of flying drones where they should not be.
