Human Factors
Passing ENSLL while level at 12;000 feet on the HOBTT2 arrival into ATL; I observed an object appearing to be a consumer type drone pass off the right of the aircraft. I estimated that the object was approximately two (2) miles away; and approximately 1;000 feet below our altitude. The object was reflecting the sun and was hard to distinguish any identifying features. I immediately notified ATC; Approach; who advised the aircraft behind us. An aircraft behind us also spotted the object; concurred that it appeared to be a drone; and also noted that it appeared to be traveling southbound. Near collision with object appearing to be a drone; insufficient time to react.
CRJ-900 flight crew reported an airborne conflict with a drone on descent to landing at ATL airport.
