Narrative:

We passed what appeared to be a white and red/orange drone on climbout departing runway 4L out of ewr. The departure was the ewr 2 and I sighted the object passing 3;000-3;500 feet ahead and to the right of the aircraft. The object that I believe to be a drone passed close off our right and just above or above and slightly off our right wing.
