Airspace Structure; Human Factors
Very close to collision with a large drone.
On base turn at 4000 feet for Runway 22L at Newark the aircraft ahead of us reported seeing a drone off their right side within 1/4 mile of their aircraft and approximately 3800 feet. As we turned to join final Tower confirmed with us if we had heard the report of the drone and cleared us to join the localizer. As we neared the TEB VOR the Captain first spotted the drone off our right side and I also spotted it momentarily as it went by our right wing. It is very difficult to say just how close as it happened very fast. It appeared to me it was 20 to 30 feet outside of our wing tip and just below. We continued the approach and landed normally.
