Narrative:
A drone/object passed overhead our position as we descended on the glidepath for [runway] 20R. I saw the object for only a few seconds. We reported it to tower and were interviewed by the police. It was about 100 feet above us as we descended through 2;500 feet on final approach to [runway] 20R.
