Procedure; Human Factors
I was the First Officer on flight inbound to PHX.  We were at 7000 FT/210 KTS on the BRUSR1 RNAV Arrival.  Just approaching KUCOO intersection I noticed a black; small object straight ahead coming toward the aircraft.  At roughly 100 FT below us; it passed directly under the nose headed northbound.  The unmanned aircraft was helicopter like. The drone was black and bright yellow with a black bubble top.  From the short look I had; I think it was possibly 1 1/2 FT long.  The Captain and Jumpseater did not see the drone.  I notified ATC of the sighting and we landed without incident.  Upon arrival at the gate; we spoke to Law Enforcement and I contacted Phoenix Approach Control as requested.I don't know what can be done; but I will say this was a very disturbing incident.  Had our aircraft been descending; it could have easily been struck; possibly in the windshield.  I hope measures can be taken to prevent another occurrence.  From what I have researched today; the FAA receives 2 reports a day involving drone/aircraft sightings.  This is unacceptable and is only a matter of time before there is an accident.
An air carrier First Officer reported a UAV near miss at 7;000 FT while flying the PHX BRUSR1 Arrival near the KUCOO intersection.
