I checked some of the results with OSE that ranked top on Goolge SERPS that have high Domain Authority,Page Authority 1 and content on the website's particular page is thin.

How come they rank high when PA is very low?

If we could have a couple of examples it'd be helpful. I'm going to guess that it's something like a blog on a wordpress.com or blogger.com domain, so it has a high domain authority yet the page authority is low. It could be a really long tail query that there's not much competition for, it could be that it's a real new page that's getting a temporary boost in Google, or it could be that there's been a lot more page authority gained since our last crawl and the PA will be higher with the next release.

It depends on a number of factors. PA is just one of them...

How competitive is the keyword?

Do they have any social interaction?

What is the DA? (Domain Authority)

Is their content amazing?

Maybe Google just likes them...

Or maybe your logged onto your Google account when searching

Or maybe your browser has saved settings and you need to clear your browsing history in order to see real results.

In any case there are many factors so it is simply very hard to tell. Especially without a URL and keyword you are observing.

DA is above 80 and not blog sites and the content on the page is duplicated on other sites.I don't know whether the content originated from them or not. Since the URL has the keyword I can't post it here.
