On final approach into Dallas 13L; I saw a dark object pass the right side of the aircraft. I asked the First Officer if we passed a bird or a balloon; and he said it looked like a drone. He passed onto Tower what he saw; and we landed without incident. It did not affect the approach or landing. The observer in the jumpseat confirmed what the First Officer saw.
On final approach into DAL for 13L at about 1000 feet AGL; a quadcopter was spotted just ahead and to the right of the airplane about 40 to 50 yards off to the right. The quadcopter appeared to be stationary. We flew past the quadcopter without any maneuvering. Once past the quadcopter; I told Love Field Tower about the quadcopter and they took it from there. We landed and taxied to the gate without incident.
