Narrative:

At 1100ft MSL on localizer and slope for ILS 27 iah I saw a drone. It passed off the left side of the nose by 15ish ft. It was white with black and green decals/paint. We were close enough I could even see a gopro type camera on it. It passed off our left without further incident. Was shooting ILS but in VMC conditions. When I saw it I originally said bird. My first officer looked on my side and saw it as I said it was a drone. I reported it to iah tower on 135.15. Then landed without incident.
