Narrative:
On a 4 mile final; captain witnessed a potential drone in close proximity to the south of final approach course. Only caught a glimpse before we passed. Not completely sure if it was a drone; it could have been a hand balloon. We were cleared for the visual; flying the profile of the ILS. We saw the object right around zzzzz intersection at roughly 1000-1100 ft.object was at same altitude; but offset from the final approach course and not in direct conflict.keep an eye out for those little buggers!
